Out and about last week

Wearing mommy's tall wedge shoes

Wild hairs, pre-haircut

Drying bed sheets make great forts!

On Friday I thought it would be fun to walk to a little bakery nearby and get a special treat.  There is one that I have been wanting to try that is only a block away, so we went out exploring the neighborhood in some of the streets we haven't yet seen just to extend the outing a bit.  Well it turned out the bakery I wanted to go to was closed - perhaps for vacation I'm guessing, since it is still February and many people here go on vacation then.  As we were walking to a Plan B bakery, Landon fell asleep in the stroller in what looked like a very uncomfortable position...

Totally asleep, with his head hanging forward

We ended up going to the same bakery where we got Jimmy's birthday cake, Dulceria Las Bezanilla, for our treats...

Remember the cuchufli, the sweets that look like cigars?  Well they also make chocolate covered versions at some places (including Starbucks, which I noticed when I went there for the first time on Sunday)

If you know Caleb and Landon, you know that they love watching all the heavy machinery involved in any sort of construction.  Normally when we are in Lodi we will go sit and watch construction projects and bring lunch or a snack with us - Grape Bowl, Hutchins Street, etc.  When we were walking home from the fruit and veggie stand we saw a big truck backing in to deliver pallets of cement tiles, and the truck had a big crane lift on the back of it.  We slipped into the gate to watch as they unloaded the pallets.   The two delivery guys got a kick out of it when I told them we were just hanging out for the kids to watch the truck.  I think we made their day.

On street near our apartment they close down several blocks to cars every Sunday from 9-2pm to encourage people to get exercise (something that Chile is making a big effort all around the city for, since weight is a problem here).  People run, ride bikes, walk, skateboard and skate.  We decided to take a walk and bring a ball to play with to enjoy it too.

You might recognize this from the skyline views from our apartment.  It is still under construction, but will be the tallest building in South America, at least for a few years... word has it Brazil is trying to one-up them...

Kind of unusual to see cowboys riding horses down the sidewalk in the city... The one on the left has a traditional huaso hat on.  Huasos are the Chilean cowboys.

Jimmy drove us by the office that he works in while we had a car last weekend.  He works on the sixth floor of the taller building.
