Greetings from Chile!
Today was a beautifullllllll day in Concepcion! THE SUN WAS SHINING!! ALLLL DAYYYY. I had class for most of it, but during our breaks we sun bathed in the common area at our school. This was probably the 4th day of sun since i've been here, so it was a true treat.
This past week: Monday - I had school from 9-12. After school my friend Jessa and I were taking our colectivo (taxi) home, when the car decides to die about 6 blocks from our house. Our driver tries to start the car about 5 more times, but nothing happens. He passes our money back to us, as we evacuate the car and begin to walk the rest of the way home....in the pouring rain. Ick.
Tuesday - Three other girls and I treated ourselves to a spa day. Some things in Chile may be expensive, but the spa is definitely not one. We sat in a steam room, sauna, and also received a 1 hour massage for only 12,000 pesos! (like 25 dollars) 3 and a half hours of pure bliss. Needless to say, we'll return.
Wednesday - We had class again from 9-12. Poetry. It's more interesting watching paint dry. My professor = zzzzzzzzzzzzz. Wednesday night I went to a BBQ at a new Chilean friend's house. His name is Jorge and he a friend of a friend. Most of the students were there. The view from his apartment is breathtaking. Conce at night = fantastic! I'll upload pictures later.
Tomorrow we're heading to Santiago! We're taking a 6 hour bus ride and will return on Sunday. I'm excited!!
That's all for now. Oh. I learned how to chop wood (with an ax!!) and make a fire in my stove. My mom thinks i'll chop off my finger or something....but she doesn't know how good I really am. :)
Love you!
