Santiago for the Feast of Trumpets

We spent a long weekend in Santiago hosted by the lovely Nestor & Susy (si usted está leyendo esto, muchimas muuchimas gracias por todo!!) and mustn't leave out the dog Luna: 

The first night, a couple of Susy & Nestor's friends came over - Varinia & Franco, who will be getting married in a couple of weeks. Varinia is Bolivian and cooked us her favorite Bolivian dish, it's called majadito. 

A stew with veggies, rice and beef, topped with a fried egg, and fried plantains on the side. While she was cooking, I took notes: 

Delicious!

Susy, Nestor, Varinia, Franco, and Glen

The next night we went to a restaurant called Ambrosia, I promise this post won't be only about food....

The day before Trumpets, we explored some of the city with our hosts: 

Cool old house 

I know...more food...Nestor & Susy took us to a traditional Chilean restaurant for lunch. This is lomo a lo pobre: steak, some sautéed onions, fried egg, and papas fritas. 

The restaurant: Del Beto 

And here are some photos from the afternoon:

Sunday night, the start of Trumpets, Rene & Elizabeth invited us all over for dinner. We met them a few years ago at the Feast of Tabernacles in Mendoza, Argentina. Here we are after another delicious dinner:

Salmon, roasted vegetables, two different salads, potatoes....and followed by chocolate mousse for dessert - no more about food, I promise!

It was so nice being in Santiago for Sabbath and the Feast of Trumpets, and spending time with friends. 

Susy & Nestor gave us this bottle of wine, which we shared our last night before leaving in the morning:

Viña Chocalan Reserva, Syrah, Valle del Maipo - Chile

Hope everyone had a great Feast of Trumpets as well.
