Fotos aqui aqui!

Hola family and friends!
I am going to post some photos now, enjoy and my apologies for not being able to explain each in detail, but really, do you want to be bored?
I am with my host family now. They are extremely kind and welcoming.
My host father Juan, is an anesthesiologist and my host mother is a nurse. I will forever be surrounded by nurses, perhaps it is a sign. My host brother Jota is very helpful and really kind. I haven't met my host sister yet, but she has a lot of clothes and loves to shop so I have a feeling we will get along quite well. We live across from a mall and around the corner from the metro. The area is quite busy and really hip and bohemian. I feel like I am living every poet's dream.
I am already tired of my clothes. I packed lightly, which is quite the feat for me and while I am happy I am traveling lightly, I would love some shoes.
Before I came to my host family I went to the beach in Mirasol and then I went to a real Chilean club. The clubs here are really interesting because all ages go, there were people in their sixties getting their groove on. It was awesome.
A Chilean kiss on the cheek to you all.

  1. Thank you very much. Hola to your host family, especially the mother who is a nurse. May she never have to take you to visit the medical clinics in the area. :) And may she convince you to attend nursing school when you return.


    The photos are beautiful and the area looks very interesting. Did you know that the Roscoes visited Chile when their son was teaching in Santiago? Lin loved the Port Montt area, but did not enjoy the 15 hour bus ride.

    Love you,
    mom
