This breakfast shot of "tostada con palta," or toast with avocado, is one of my favorite. It is also the preferred breakfast of my nephew, Noah. I am pretty sure my other nephew Eli is an avocado aficionado as well. Yep, my nephews, they love them some avocadoes...can't wait to see them in a few weeks!
And just in case you thought I would have to wait to get to Argentina before having some carne, worry not, because the night before the wedding, Pato and Alice's family hosted a rehearsal dinner sans rehearsal, where we dined on meat of various forms, including some good ole fashioned morcilla, or blood sausage (the purple bubble protruding from the front of the tray).
Finishing up our dinner, we were entertained by a traditional (?) Chilean band, complete with uniforms and all.
Below is a shot of me and Pato, less than 24 hours before he would tie the knot.
And, since I did not bring my camera to the wedding, I will conclude this post with the last few pre-wedding shots.
I couldn't resist ordering corvina, or Chilean seabass, again before leaving, just like I cannot resist posting a photo of it for you now.
I enjoyed this with Maximiliano (Julio's cousin) and his wife, who also gave me a nice afternoon tour of the city.
As for the wedding itself, it was a somewhat traditional ceremony in a Catholic church, though the exchanging of vows, something common in the United States, is not usually done in Chile. Perhaps since Pato's uncle was the priest, they allowed for this americanism in the ceremony!! The reception was, as to be expected, an all night affair, complete with lots of eating, drinking and dancing. I am proud to say that I was on the last bus home at 4:30 AM, but, if not, then of what value was my last three months of training in Italy ;)
