My Return to Normality (it doesn't actually exist in Chile, but I pretend)

I decided to throw caution into the wind and live my Chilean life by going to visit friends in Temuco this past weekend. The good news is that I realized this illness has not taken away my love of dance nor my ability to have a good time, thank goodness, I was worried about that while I was stuck in my bed. I actually had the thought, "I may never have fun again, I am so bored, maybe I forgot what fun feels like" this was after about 40 puzzles and 80 games of monopoly. In retrospect I think I know why I felt that way. Monopoly really isn't all that fun. Once we all got together we decided to go to a resort town a few hours from Temuco, rent a cabana and live the luxurious life (translated ten people sharing 3 bedrooms, how luxurious).
Villarica is the love child between Red Lodge and Bozeman, it has all the necessities but has somehow managed to keep the small town vibe. It is located right on a huge lake with a stunning view of Volcano Villarica. My friends Honni, Johnny, and I decided to go for a walk late Friday night. It felt like a ghost town, we were the only ones on the road when all of a sudden two men with painted faces like the bank robbers from Point Break hailed us over to them. I was certain we were going to mugged or worse killed, and all I could think was, I only have $1 on me, they'll never believe that, but alas they were just free loving mimes. Johnny decided to have a mime off with them and I cannot remember ever laughing so hard nor being so confused. I love that this is my life in Chile.
I had a great weekend and felt ready for school so I have been going to school and listening to Waka Waka by Shakira no less than 35 times each day. The students had to prepare a 5 minute English presentation for me and as soon as I figure out how to upload those on here you will get to enjoy the hilarity that is Liceo Juanita Fernandez Solar.
I have to go catch a World Cup game, I will be cheering for Uruguay because I think a large part of my heart is still there.
