Route of the Terremotos

I thought that our "Club de Comilones" (eating club) was pretty funny until last week when Katy's host brother invited us out to drinks. It turns out that he and his friends also have a club. There's is "Route of the Terremotos" and they go around to different drinking dens in Santiago to sample Terremotos (earthquakes). Terremotos are famous drinks that are made out of wine, hard alcohol, and pineapple ice cream. We went to a really dingy bar with them and drank alongside all of the old, lonely drunkards. Then we went to the clubbing district and had some drinks on a patio before going to a disco. We had some great conversations about cultural differences in friendships and dating in Chile and the US. It was a great chance to practice Spanish, for them to practice English, and to gain a little more insight into Chilean culture.
