Wow. Oh Wow.
Wow is right. That is about all I have to say right now. I am now in Valdivia and have completed my first day of school. Incredible. All the kids are great, both US and Chilean. And dont even get me started on my family here. They are the best! I have and 11 year old brother, Cristobol who has stolen my heart- I am in love. He has the most expressive bright glowing eyes ever and whenver I make a mistake (like every other word) he giggles and is not afraid to correct me. Haha. Its great. Aww, I am sitting here smiling thinking abou him.
About smiling, apparently dimples in Chile are called ¨margaritas¨ as if my blond hair didnt call enough attention and grant me the nick name of ¨rubia¨I also get ¨ohhhhh margaritas!!¨ Oh boy. Its great.
So I´ve decided. The blog is going to be more of funny stories, tid-bits, and things that make me laugh here, while e-mails will be more of the day to day kind of stuff.
So here it goes-
¿who needs to shower? apparently not me or my family because we dont do it too often, and thank god becasue the water is so freaking cold. dear god, how do they do it?
pololo = boyfriend. if you are asked ¿tienes pololo? (do you have a boyfriend?) Yes. The answer is always yes. Trust me, women have asked me and when I responded- No, no tengo pololo. - They asked me to please got meet thier sons. ¡¡¡Que loco!!!
Going out dancing is like going out to a hardcore areobic class. Once you get on the dance floor do not plan on leaving, even if you want to, ha good luck. The group went out to a discoteca the other night and when I triend to leave to get water, go to the bathroom, escape creepy guys the answer was ¨Wait until the next song. Not yet. One more. ¨ Granted this goes on for about 10 more songs until you make a run for it and by then you are covered in sweat so nobody wants to dance with you anyways!
And finally food. Holly hell people eat so much here and ALWAYS clean their plate. And even if you say you are full they keep feeding you more and more. We are going to have to work on this one. I have a run scheduled for this afternoon, I might need to change that to a quick marathon ;)
Ok enough babbling on the blog . . . I miss you all and love you!
And I am so sorry I have not responded to anyone yet. This is my first time on a computer since Santiago! But things are settling down and I forsee way too much internet time in my future.
besos! (kisses)
