Today is the anniversary of my first week in Chile! I cannot complain at all. I slept late this morning as we were all up until after 2am. One of Marcelas best friends came over for a visit last night around 11.30 so we drank pina coladas and listened to loud music and laughed a lot. I tried to keep up but Ellie talks super fast. I am fairly certain I have agreed to a late night of pisco sours and karoake with Ellie and Marcela tonight. Tomorrow I will go with Marcela to vote. She is very excited to put in her support for Pinera.

First week of school was great. Although I feel a little over my head in the intermediate class, I like my teacher and she has convinced me to stick it out.


I am not sure how many avocados is TOO many but I am headed that way. I crave them and the fact that they are around 25cents doesn't help my overdosing.

So here are a few more pictures from this morning. Marcela is at work but I went to the feria (market) with the boys....

The great wall of cebollas (onions).
Helado anyone?
