Old pictures of my family in Chile

Chilean Chit-Chat

Hello! Thought I’d share some old pictures of my mom’s side of the family in Chile from the 60’s. My mom has 4 siblings and they didn’t have much, but my grandpa saved enough to get these pictures taken.

  1. First photo:

Wonderful to see. I feel like I can see so much in the faces. Almost like a time portal where I can see through the eyes of one who lived loved and died in Chile long before I existed :smiling_face_with_tear:

Thank you! It is incredible to see. I remember my great-grandmother telling me stories of her younger years and how different Chile was back then, she was from the “South.”
