Alejandro Sanz and a Birthday in Santiago

I haven’t updated in a while so I’m going to do some quick catching up.

The following weekend I went to Santiago for an Alejandro Sanz concert.

This is the opening


and a couple of the songs:

Amiga Mia


La Primera Persona


Corazon Partio
Part 1



Part 2



And finally, my favorite and his encore song, Te Lo Agradezco, Pero No
Part 1



And Part 2



Afterwards we went out to a bar to celebrate my friend’s 21st birthday and St. Patty’s day and had a fantastic time. I’ve known this friend for 15 years, and lived basically down the street from him for that entire time, so it was really cool to be able to celebrate that with him in Santiago of all places.

We got back around 4:30 that night and I had to get up at 9 the next morning to meet my grandparents, who were just coming for two days, then leaving on a tour out of Valpo. I showed them the little part of Santiago that I knew:

the gondola


the view of their hotel the sheraton from the gondola


the statue of La Virgen at the top of cerro san cristobal





...and they gave me as much food and drink as I could possibly consume. In retrospect, I don't think this weekend could have turned out any better - these 3 things just happened to all fall on the same weekend, and it was awesome.

These posts are going to come rapid-fire for a while until I catch up.
