HOLA from Santiago, Chile!
This weekend was a long weekend in Argentina because of the 200th anniversary of their revolution. My friends (other volunteers) decided to go to Santiago Chile and then to Mendoza for the 4 day weekend. Santiago is a gorgeous city surrounded by the Andes mountains. Today we climbed to the top of San Cristobal which was a mountain and overlooked the whole city and the mountainous backdrop. We walked around and I enjoyed the Fall weather that I missed at home while in Bolivia. The leaves are changing, the sun was out, and the air was nice and crisp (but a little chilly). Tomorrow we are taking a 2 hour bus ride to Valparaiso and will spend the day there. After that it is back to Argentina for Mendoza for two days. Being able to travel around and see different things has been awesome.
Everything is going very well back in Rio Ceballos Cordoba. My family is AWESOME and I really enjoy hanging out with them. We have become so close so fast... it will be hard leaving them so soon. You really don´t realize how short a month truly is until your down here and the days are flying by! My volunteer placements are also going great. Saturday morning I had soccer with the kids. Every other Saturday they get to play another soccer program. It was really fun watching them play and fun helping coach!!
The dining hall is also going really well and I love it. Playing soccer is so much fun and a great end to my day. The kids are also adorable and so much fun to be with. The orphanage is going well and I am really close with everyone there especially the younger girls.
Honestly everything is just fantastic down here and I love being back in South America. The culture people everything excites and fascinates me. I really enjoy living this life! Especially because Siestas are the best thing ever invented (long lunch breaks for naps).
Anyway, I will upload pictures very soon! I cant wait to share with you the Santiago pictures as well as my family, sports, dining hall and orphanage photos.
Take care, UN BESO!
