Cata and I went to Cybil´s beach house for the weekend. The beach is just over an hour away by bus, and the bus is only about $3, so it makes it pretty possible to go for the weekend... and I guess my friends tend to go a fair amount in the summer too, because a few of them have beach houses. The beach house was a little sort of run down house made of cement with peeling paint. there were two bedrooms and a kitchen, and then two more bedrooms and a bathroom in another part in the back yard, quite small and very very old uncomfortable mattresses but nonetheless we all had a great time. We stayed there saturday night with about 8 friends and it was especially fun because Joaco brought his adorable ... read more

-We had a little birthday party for my curso´s advisor, Profe Miriam... Shes the biology teacher and shes really a great teacher. Profe Miriam is very animated while she speaks which makes class a bit more interesting and also shes just really friendly and warm. Her sister is an english teacher so she knows a little bit of english and likes to through in the occational word or phrase for me in the lessons. The party was fun despite there being lots of balloons and some people popping them (which most of you probably know i really don´t enjoy). -Out with the girls on friday night! I invited Gina, the new gringa at school from Rotary exchange along with us and it was a lot of fun! It was actually kind of cool for me because ... read more

We drove out to the beach- Bahia Inglesa for lunch and to pick up some seafood-ish stuff.... so here are a few pictures... it was really gorgeous but the day was overcast and a bit cold and ugly. It was pretty fun being with the whole family (my brothers and sisters and a few significant others) but a little hard to follow the conversations cause it gets kinda loud... but a lot of fun and a lot of joking around.... read more

Some pictures from going out into the dunes to fly kites with some friends and some pictures from later that day at the birthday party of a friend from my class- Pachy (Patricia). We had a great lot of fun dancing and joking around and taking silly pictures all night long... ooh and eating REALLY REALLY delicious cake (although unfortunately I think I caught something in santiago last week because my stomach has been funny and eating has been kind of painful) (this is from last weekend... sorry for the long delay... I went to south to La Serena for three days and then the rest of the week was spent celebrating the national holiday... and hopefully i´ll get blog entries about those up soon!)... read more

On friday at school there was a big fiesta for the national holiday (which is on the 18th). They really go all out for this holiday... there were lots of decorations, costumes, dances and food at school and then we have the whole week off from school this week. I took about a million and a half pictures of the dances, especially because some of my friends were dancing in a cueca competition of some sort (cueca is the national dance) but this is just a small selection of the pictures. ... read more

Unfortunately three more of the puppies got sick and died, but thus is nature I suppose. My uncle brought them to the vet but there wasn´t much to do for them I guess. However the two beautiful little black ones are still alive and doing really well. And they´ve grown a lot! When I left for Santiago I could fit one in my cupped hands, and now they´re much more than a handful! Their eyes just opened aswell! They are just soooo sweet with their little wrinkly noses and chubby feet! I am still spending a lot of time out in the dog house, and Nutela continues to leave me with them a fair amount... actually she has been leaving them alone a bit aswell... she gets pretty bored with them. Also the other guard dog, ... read more
