Mi bombero favorito

My Chilean friend Gabriel is a fire fighter and today he took us on a tour of the "bomba" (fire station). He's awesome. We love Gabriel.

Sitting in the big, red fire truck. We were like giddy little school girls.

Yeah, that's right: there was a pole and I slid down it like a fire fighter. I felt cool...and very scared.

Wearing all that stuff is so heavy! It's so fun to have awesome Chilean friends like Gabriel who take time to show us cool stuff. Funny story: Whilst we were there, some of the firemen thought it'd be funny to ring the bell as if there were a fire. We thought it was for real and freaked out for a good 2 seconds. What is it with firemen and their practical jokes?
