That is a direct quote from my principal. We went to a farewell dinner for a few of the retired teachers and I had the pleasure of sitting next to him the whole night and we had some pretty hilarious interactions. He made my day by telling me that he fully supports what I am doing and if I have any more problems with people yelling at me to send them to him. He also sang some songs to me, man, Chileans are awesome. He also told me he wants to be like Germany and Japan, I think I should be nervous, but instead I am going to roll with it.
Because my immune system does not know what to do with this country, I was unable to go hiking. This was to my benefit because my family threw an impromptu barbecue that turned out to be incredibly tasty. It also gave me time to explore Angol a little more and explore my paparazzi voyeur side. Jorge took great pride in his ability to barbecue and he taught me how to make a fire, like a real Chilean.
They felt bad about me being sick and missing out on the hike, so they took me by car to where we would have been hiking. It was incredible, it is a huge rock where you can see the sea and the Andes. It is beautiful, but the best part were the trees. They are like something straight out of Dr. Seuss's world. They are called Araucania trees and they are exclusively Chilean. This area of Chile is called Araucania and is really quite similar to western Montana, which means it is awesome. I am starting to understand them more and more and am able to make jokes that they laugh at, I still am unsure if I am actually being funny or they are being nice, but at least I feel funny.
We were in the middle of the clouds.

I loved these cows.
That's right, Jorge, delicious meat!
