La Gringa: Vexed
http://thornyrose-gardenspot.blogspot.com/2015/08/vexed.html
Mi corazón late en Chile. Sunday, August 9, 2015. I've had to change peluqueros. Again This must be the fifth or sixth one I've tried here. I've lost count. After an incident with one in El Centro back in 2012, I'd been trekking out to Barrio Yungay to Marcos* who did a consistent job of maintaining my hair style. Please, he needs help with his homework. He doesn't understand it," pleaded his mother. This wasn't the first time that they had asked for my help. I'd given mini-English lessons on previou...

La Gringa: Coffee Encounters
http://thornyrose-gardenspot.blogspot.com/2015/07/coffee-encounters.html
Mi corazón late en Chile. Sunday, July 26, 2015. As opposed to my last post about the ten best bars. In Santiago, now here's a list of nine cafes. To help us survive winter. How many of these have I visited? Not as many as the bars, but considering that I only drink decaf, which is almost impossible to find here, and that I drink it at home in the mornings, I'm surprised that I've actually visited three out of these nine. The other one I've investigated is in Barrio Italia. I went to Xoco Por Ti. If you'...

La Gringa: Top of the List
http://thornyrose-gardenspot.blogspot.com/2015/08/top-of-list.html
Mi corazón late en Chile. Saturday, August 1, 2015. Top of the List. Do you like lists? I'm a list-maker, so when I see a new list of something that interests me, I usually read through it. Thia week, I found Chile on two lists. The first was a Thrillist article called "12 of the Most Unbelievably Cheap Paradises on Earth.". The other list was presented by Condé Nast Traveler, "The Most Colorful Cities in the World.". I live near one of them. I like to think of Valpo the way poet Pablo Neruda did, "Valpa...

La Gringa: Happy Hours
http://thornyrose-gardenspot.blogspot.com/2015/07/happy-hours.html
Mi corazón late en Chile. Wednesday, July 22, 2015. Frequently, I am contacted by folks who read this blog and are planning a visit to Chile. They ask me where to stay, what to do, how to get from A to B. I enjoy playing virtual tour guide and I offer advice when I can. Many people want to be in the heart of it all. They choose to stay in Barrio Bellas Artes or Barrio LaStarria. Where you can hop onto the Metro or a bus, and it's easy to walk to restaurants and bars. Author of Penny Possible. To read mor...

Mi corazón late en Chile. Wednesday, July 29, 2015. In my quest to find viable volunteer opportunities for teaching English, I recently attended a meeting of a new organizaton called Ojos Abiertos. To empower children to grow as individuals and valuable community members through initiatives designed to nurture empathy, support learning, and promote respect and self-autonomy" reads its mission statement.

La Gringa: Hello, Goodbye
http://thornyrose-gardenspot.blogspot.com/2015/07/hello-goodbye.html
Mi corazón late en Chile. Sunday, July 19, 2015. The hurrier I go, the behinder I get." Remember that quote from Alice in Wonderland. Considering that my interview for The Displaced Nation's. Wonderlanded" series went live this week on their website, I suppose I've got Alice on the brain. Call me OCD, but in only 550 square feet, clutter can't happen. How nice it would be to have someone to do all the cleaning and putting away, to pay all my bills, to cook for me and then just call me when it's ready, so...

La Gringa: Flojera
http://thornyrose-gardenspot.blogspot.com/2015/07/flojera.html
Mi corazón late en Chile. Tuesday, July 14, 2015. I'm not getting any work done. All I want to do is sit and stare at the Cordillera. We had just enough rain over the weekend that I can clearly see those majestic Andes Mountains for the first time in almost three months. I could be doing other things, but I only want to sit quietly and soak in this view. Earlier, I went to an expat meeting. I didn't know anyone at the meeting and the inevitable getting-to-know-you questions were asked. A lazy mountain wa...
