Drinking wine and the border patrol

We took a tour of some wineries, or bodegas, in Mendoza. We got to see 4 bodegas an olive oil plant and a family business of chocolate and liqueur. The trip was nice, however, was long and a little boring. We did meet some girls on the trip from the States. Cassidy and Erin are traveling in SA for a few months as well. After the long day we decided that we wanted to go and see Walter again. This time remembering to take pictures. The girls came with us and we bowled and drank until we ran out of money. Walter was very nice and gave us his address if we are to come back through Mendoza. Mendoza was an strange city and we are not sure that we liked it there.
Friday we decided to leave for Santiago and to meet our friend Fabian (one of Laura´s friend´s boyfriend). The small minibus was supposed to take only 6 hours, however, it took close to 10. Chile is very strict about customs and immagration. We waited at the border while they searched every bag in every bus. None the less, we are now here in Santiago at Fabian´s house. He has been an extreme help and is going with us on Monday to pick up the car. We are hoping that everything goes smoothly and we have no problems.
Last night we at dinner here at the house with his father, mother, and sister (Nivaldo, Maria, and Meme). Then we went to his best friends (Sebastian) house where he was having a party. My Spanish got much better the more Pisco I drank, but it was still not quite good enough. They only drink rum or pisco and coke, I am a little hungover today from all the sugar. They don´t like to drink beer! We are off to run some errands before the car arrives. Fuera!
