Sleepy City

---

---

After a shaky preparation and a teary goodbye we had an event free flight over to Santiago. We´ve spent our first night in our freezing new home and are coping with the jetlag no worries. Our housemates have been very accomodating although the house itself is a little worse for wear. The shower is a hose and the hot water lasted for two minutes and so do thte heaters. Guess we´d better get used to these things though. Today we had our first day at Spanish school and i think they may be able to teach us a few words. Had lunch with some fellow students and really it´s all been quite dull so far. Sunday´s (the day we arrived) here nothing is open and then today was a national holiday so again nothing was open. Kinda hoping tomorrow the city will come alive as it´s been very sleepy so far...

Hey hey
You both look fabulous - no signs of jet lag - you will need to huddle close to keep warm. How envious am I of your spanish lessons!! I can only say - 'give me a kiss' and 'where is the party' - some people might think that is very appropriate for me. Stay well!!
