Overwhelmed by love

Well we made it to Santiago ok. When leaving Tauranga and Auckland we were absolutely overwhelmed by the love that was shown us. So many people giving us their love it was incredible. We were met at Santiago airport by Ruben - who we had met for just a couple of days in NZ. Oh thank goodness for him - we would not have known what to do being tired and emotional and not to mention not hearing any english! He got us to our hotel by taxi then we went for a walk and he brought us our first south american lunch. I had tortillas de papas (a big potato fritata thing) and MARK a corn concoction. We came back to the hotel and Ruben went off promising to be back in the morning for our next firsts-ride in the metro (subway) meeting at the Kingdom Hall (not an english group as we first thought-all spanish>)then out witnessing for an hour (whoa! that´s going to be interesting) and then to luch with his friends. Let you know how that goes! Adios
