Run Up To Christmas

The last weeks have been busy with all kinds of festivities. Our friends Larissa and Eldwin gave a Christmas plus birthday party in the quirky style of the 70s. To match things up, they treated us to wonderful finger food from vintage cooking books. 

For Florian's birthday we went to Santiago's theatre to see the famous Nutcracker ballet. The show was really good (because our friend Fiona played in the orchestra!). The building features beautiful plastering, that lets you think of European opera houses, despite being in seismic active Chile. 

The next evening Outotec had it's company party. After dinner, best employee awards, and so forth, the DJ put on the first song. In an instant the dance floor got packed and the real fiesta began. I love this about South Americans. Dancing comes so natural to them! We had fun practising the weird "Gangnam Style" thing and of course, lots of Reggaeton.
The following day we left Santiago for an exciting Xmas roadtrip through Argentina & Northern Chile...
