CIVIL CEREMONY
This morning at 8 am we left to the county clerk.
Slowly the family started to arrive and pretty soon we were a big bunch!
Pascale looked lovely in a lilac coat with black pants and Willy looked very handsome
in a blue blazer with cream pants.
The civil ceremony was sweet, the judge very nice and friendly and the smiling faces surrounding Paskki and Willy told everything!
I was so touched when Willy promised to love her for ever!
My brother in law Juan Pablo was Paskki's witness, I was happy to see them together.
Paskki and Willy exchanged rings and kissed, and just like that they were husband and wife!!!
My niece Andrea Paz videotaped the ceremony I will upload the video tonight.
We drove to the Manquehue Club were we had a lovely breakfast.
I sat bettween Willy's mom and my mom, and we talked and laughed and had a wonderful time.
Meeting Willy's family was great, they are very nice and I was happy to see that they love Paskki.
My two dear friends came with their spouses and it was wonderful seeing them.
By noon we were home..full of flower baskets, presents and cards!
Later we went food shopping with Paskki and got some " Humitas" for dinner ( a type of tamale) and I will make a salad of tomatoes, lettuce, avocado to go with it tonight.

BRINGING FLOWERS TO DADDY
Mom and I went to the Cementery this morning and placed flowers in Dad's grave.
It was a special time, we visited grandma, grandpa and many relatives.
Then we went to lunch with Paskki and spent the rest of the day relaxing at home.
Tomorrow is the big day!!!

PAMPERING
Today Paskki, mom and I went to the beauty parlor and had manicures, pedicures and hair done.
I ran into someone I knew 40 years ago and we had a wonderful time talking, much to Pascale amusement, she is getting used to me running into people I know!!
Later we took a ride around santiago, went to dinner, and later with Paskki and Willy on the sofa, watched Beatles movies and sang as a trio!

PATIO BELLAVISTA
We went this evening with Paskki and Willy to an area in Santiago, called Bellavista ( Beautiful View)
It is a bohemian area of old Santiago, where artists, poets, and writers live.
Also now to accomodate the many tourists, a terrace with many cafes and restaurants, shops and concert houses has been build.
I sat in the back seat and videotaped as Willy drove downtown.
I was doing some research to find a perfect place to meet with all of my cousins, in an open air cafe, where I can seat and talk, take photos and hug each of them.

DINNER IN THE COUNTRYSIDE
Last night we went out with Willy and Paskki to the countryside to dine at Alicia Maria, Willy
's sister home.
The rain had ended and we drove on the highway that circunvents Santiago.
After half an hour or so, we arrived at the countryside home.
It was a lovely place, surrounded by lemon and avocado trees.
The beautiful home was designed by Lucho, Willy's other brother.
We had a superb dinner, the family was super warm and kind.
Alicia Maria, her husband and her son Kike, welcomed us and made us feel at home.
We arrived home after midnight.
I am happy Pascale has such a nice new family.

RAINING IN SANTIAGO...
This morning started to rain, it was cold and windy.
So I stayed in bed all day reading e mails, chatting with friends and resting.
Willy and Paskki got Empanadas for lunch!!! They were soooooo good!!
After I went online and I got a wonderful e mail my friends surprised me with an invitation to a luncheon in my honor this Sunday!
I am so touched, I will see friends I have not seen in 35 years!
My niece Andrea Paz came over and we spent about 3 hours watching videos of the family and old photos.
She left a little while ago, it still raining and it will rain until Sunday.
Later, Pascale's friend Adriana a ballerina, writer and artist came over for tea and we had a wonderful time talking, listening to music.
Paskki and Willy arrived later and Paskki bought a lovely art piece with two little angels, made by Adriana, the first art piece for the new apartment!
Her lovely work can be order online at adrianasalcedo7@gmail.com
After Adriana left, we watched family videos and listened to old songs.
So today was a quiet wonderful day.
