South America » Chile » Santiago Region » Santiago September 11th 2008

Some pictures from Cata´s (new!) camera of Santiago... We went to Fantasilandia, an amusement park, and had a GREAT time there. I got in, went on several great rides, ate lunch, had an icecream, and went through an awesome haunted house all for under $20. The haunted house was one of my favorite parts... it was insane! We walked through dark narrow hallways in a line of about ten people, holding onto the shoulders of the person in front. There were live actors in really well done costumes that jumped out at us and talked to us and generally freaked us out. It was like the scariest parts of all of the best horror movies you have ever seen... I don´t think i´ve ever screamed so much in my life!!! ... read more

Here are videos of the two songs that the Colegio Cervantino Chorus sang. unfortunately they weren´t among the three that won and continued on to the next competition... however I honestly thought that they were going to win, as they were one of the best choruses there. The videos don´t even do them justice though, they were SO great live!... read more

I went on a trip to Santiago with the chorus for a competition (and noooo i certainly wasnt singing... Cata is in chorus and they let me come along cause I have special exchange student privilages! also my parents owning the school may have something to do with that). however unfortunately, in a fit of extreme brilliance i brought the charger for my camera battery but not the converter... so i was unable to charge it... thus here are the pictures of the trip until my camera ran out of battery. I will get some from the rest of the trip from Cata, and Mamá and post them soon...! The hostel we stayed at was an interesting experience... and a cold one. There were about ten beds in the room i was staying in- mostly bunk ... read more

Last weekend I went out to the Dunes with my sister Cata and two friends... they were absolutely gorgeous and it was so stunning to look out at the mountains and dunes around us when we climbed up one of the dunes. It was great fun rolling around in the sand (a bit like going to the sand pits in the summer) and the sand was sooooooo fine! It was more like rolling around flour! Afterwards, even after showering I still had sand EVERYWHERE though! I still have some in ears.... looks like I´ll always have a little bit of Chile with me, cause we´re going to the dunes again this weekend (and plus I don´t think I´ll ever fully get the dust out of my lungs... it´s so dry and dusty!). And you might notice ... read more

and what you´ve all been waiting for...... me in a school uniform!!! Also some pictures of me going downtown with a couple friends. There is a collectivo (public transportation... sort of like taxis but they only go back and forth between a set of certain stops depending on the number thats on the car) stop a short walk from my house, which makes it really easy to go into town with friends and whatnot. I´ve done that a few times after school and on weekends.... also a few of my friends live pretty close by so it´s easy to meet up with them! Nothing much exciting has been going on... just school in the week, and going out on the weekends. My lenguaje teacher has told me that i´ve been improving rapidly on my assignments, which ... read more
