Thank you SO much for your presents!!

Firstly, my santa sent me a postcard a few weeks ago from her home city with a lovely message, telling me that although she can't send me something directly from Chile, she will send me something similar. It's a lovely postcard..but then I got a message that she will send me something directly from Chile after all!! :D

In the parcel was a hand-written letter (very thoughtful, not easy to write not in your native language!) explaining each gift. THANK YOU FOR THIS!!

The first gift is merquen, which I am told is a dressing originating from the aboriginal people of Araucania and 'is the best sample of our aborigin culture'! Smells great..

Next is a bookmark, which is a typical souvenir of Chile with the national flower at the bottom. This will come in very handy as I study A-level English literature and I need bookmarks for the books we study!! Love it.

Then I got an 'empanada' keychain, which is a favourite food from Chile and goes great with merquen

Finally is a CD of Victor Jara Sinfonico - one of the most recognised Chilean musicians who was killed during the dictatorship. A great way to sample Chilean culture.

(I've blurred out address on the parcel)

THANK YOU!!
