re: sand surfing yeah!!! my friends have talked about going sand surfing, and we were going to but my sister couldn´t find the board :(
hopefully i´ll get to try it though!
Sand surfing! Cute puppies! You should find out if anyone has a snowboard anywhere and try out some dune surfing.....it's really fun! Black plastic bags on the butt work well too.....:0)
thanks Debby! it does definately simplify things, I really love wearing a uniform... its so easy in the morning. the same thing every day (except thursdays i wear my gym outfit). school has been going great, and actually right now im getting ready to go out with some friends from school!
oh and i will definitely be keeping my fingers crossed!
re: uniform! hehe thanks mom
and yesssss she did! they are amazingly adorable, and i have some pictures on Cata´s camera but need to upload them... they should be in the next blog though!
Tammy,
Don't worry, the uniform is very cute on you, particularly with the sweater. It simplifies life, doesn't it? Cute puppies, also.
I'll be thinking of you starting school and looking forward to hearing about it. Life is about to get very interesting and busy here as the election season begins, so keep your fingers crossed.
I had a long description from Kathy about delivering Laura to college, so all sounds well there. Dick says hello.
Love, Debby
uniform! Oh, yes... Loooove that uniform! Especially that sassy pose! Hey - did I hear Nutella had puppies? Why aren't there any pictures on your blog???
Juan Godoy The bronze statue is of Juan Godoy who was a poor woodcutter who accidently discovered a vein of silver in the mountains. A jeweler told him it was lead and paid him a small amount for each piece he brought it. Eventually people followed him and developed the mine. Not sure if he ever profitted from it.

The adventures of an ex-exchange student:
I spent a year living in beautiful little Copiapò, Chile as a YFU exchange student... and started this is as my blog of life in the Atacama Desert.
Then I spent a year back in the states studying Social Work, and I am currently back in Chile hoping to finish my degree here... and who knows where life will take me next ;)

There's one of those spiral buildings in Serena, too, though it's not as pretty and sparkly...
