Update: Things I never did and want to do while in Chile

On November 1, 2008, almost TWO years ago (my how time flies) I wrote a blog post about things that I wanted to do while in Chile. Let's see how I've done on that list:
  • Go to the rodeo (kind of...I watched the rodeo last 18 de septiembre, but I haven't been to the medialuna in Rancagua yet)
  • Go to El Huevo in Valpo (no, but I'm not sure I really want to do this anymore)
  • Go to La Serena (YES and YES!)
  • Three words: Torres del Paine (YES!)
  • Argentina (Mendoza: Yes. BBAA: Not yet. But I'm going to Salta in September!)
  • Explore more outside the comunas of Provedencia, Nunoa and El Centro (yes)
  • Go to a concert at the Estadio Nacional (Not yet, because the Estadio has been closed for renovations for awhile, but U2 is coming in March and I'm definitely going!)
  • Visit more viñas (I visited one in Santiago, but I want to to go Colchagua Valley)
  • Dance the Cueca (Haha, yes)
  • Celebrate el 18 (Yes)
  • New Years! (No, not yet. I'm not sure how I'm going to accomplish this goal because I like to go home for Christmas and I usually end up staying through New Years.)

I know, you can fly your family out here and spend Christmas and New Years here together! You've really got to go to Vina to see the fireworks some New Year, they're really spectacular and the parties are so much fun! We've gone twice now and both times danced in the streets all night because there's bands they have set up outside in the main squares. Sooo much fun! And this year is going to rock because it's the bicentenial!

I have only been to two vineyards.
Casas del Bosque in Chile and Familia Zuccardi in Mendoza. Both seemed excellent to me and both had great food as well.

Try Casas del Bosque vineyard if you haven't already. Generous tasting, good food, very friendly. Also Familia Zuccardi in Mendoza was good too.
