The trip down was pretty bad, except hanging out in the airports with other students. That was fun. It's just that I couldn't sleep well on the plane. Then we went to Villa Alemana, to sort of a bed and breakfast kind of place, only it was 3 meals a day instead of breakfast. The orientation was fun. Well, the orientation itself was rather dull, but hanging out with the other students was awesome. Chatting for hours. Playing spoons, and teaching each other card games from our countries. Everything was in english, because most of us are from the U.S., and most didn´t speak spanish very much.
My town is 40000 people, but it feels no bigger than Rice Lake. Basically, in this town, there is the downtown area, some schools, a hospital, and a lot of residential districts. Lots of people because the houses are all right next to each other.
My family is cool. Gracious hosts. We get along well.
The desert is really beautiful. I haven't had a chance to take photos of it yet, but I'll get some. Right now, it is winter. It gets down to the 30's at

We were on the same flight, with a long layover, so we wandered around thea airport a lot. There seem to be more girls than boys doing this kind of thing night, 50's or 60's in the day. I am glad I brought warm clothing.
hasta la bye bye

Hey, Ian--I'm glad everything's going so well. I found that in Spain, all the towns felt small. Part of it was that everything was so built up and tall, so we couldn't see past the buildings, and the feel made it seem as if there weren't very many people when there could have very easily been 200,000, and the size shocked me a few times. Anyway, have fun and don't freeze in the desert. :)
