Hello everybody!

First of all I would like to appologize about the lack of blogs. Really sorry about that. However, there are currently TWO blogs in progress about two major trips I have had: the South Trip and a trip I recently had to Peru (including the spectacular Machu Picchu)! The rest of this blog is just going to be a collage of random pictures! Yay! SO, until the next blogs come out (should be within the week), take care everyone!

Architecture

Gotta love this old architecture in Valparaiso

1-UP

Undenaiably the coolest graffiti ever made.

After Hours

Market after hours

Fieldworker

Neat picture

Flying Dane

Kirsa and I made pancakes for our friends--she the Danish version and I the American, buttermilk version. Both were excellent.

Random

Does this lock have some sort of Chilean significance? No. Is it relevant to any experience I've had so far while on Exchange? No. Is it wicked-awesome and does it look as though it should be in a Dan Brown novel? YES.

Oasis

Not actually sure what you would call this geographic formation, but it's really beautiful. (If anyone knows, please tell me--I'm honestly curious) And it had a freshwater spring in the middle.

Pascal's Law

My friend Pascal (a German exchange student living in another city) came to visit me and we climbed Pulmahue.

Pals

A group of friends and me

Special

Now THAT'S not something you see every day in Marketplace.

Christ Chalk

Impressive chalk drawing--painting? Say, what IS the verb associated with chalk, anyway? Chalking?

Mary, Mary

Statue of the virgin Mary in Santiago

Well Done

A famous seafood in the south-but-not-THAT-south of Chile. Never tried it but took this picture.

The Wrath of a Fountain

Statue of Poseidon in Santiago

BOOM.

Me outside the National Museum. Unfortunately we were unable to enter, because there had been extensive damage inside due to the earthquake in February 2010, and repairs were still underway.
