Fotos of Fantasilandia

As promised... a beautiful photo montage of FANTASILANDIA by Alexis (in brown hooded sweathshirt), the 24 year old son of the owners of our house. The boy in the orange is Javier, the other son, and the other kid is his friend from school. The tall, blonde freak is Nate.

(NB: Yesterday, to get to the entrance of this photo exhibit we went to see, we had to traverse through a literal sea of Chilena schoolgirls. Nate got several calls of "hello! how are you!" and when he responded with something in English, they all squealed with delight. He thought this was a characteristic of young Chilenas, but KellyAnne and I assured him that all 13 year old girls act like that the world over.)




Nate, Alexis and I waiting in line for...













...the Kamikaze, which spins you around and around and around, and prompted us to learn the Spanish words for upside down (al reves or a cabeza) and sick to the stomach (mareado).













The Disco Super Buena, or something like that. Its seats are similar to mopeds, complete with a seat you straddle, and little handlebars to hold onto. The Disco spins you around as you zoom along this parabolic track. It was fantastic. Nate sat this one out because he was still too mareado from the Kamikaze. I think as you get older your ability to withstand the nauseating quality of most amusement park rides diminishes drastically.

  • The Kamikaze looks Puke-tastic. I am convinced that 98% of all amusement park ride inventors are hitler-worshipping Sadists. The other 2% make the COOL rollercoasters.

    story about soccer was great .... the jiuce-boxes and orange slices comment had me shooting calcium-enriched china-milk out my nose .... that is of course after the 30 seconds it took me to actually GET the joke. But then - I AM a bit braindead. Toodles .... gene
