Lo que pasó hoy. . .in a very quick nutshell

So it's 12:40am here and I need to wake up cerca 745 so this will be brief. Today was pretty freaking fantastic.

-Woke up and went for a half hour run with 2 friends who live near me, discovered "Club Providencia" which has a very nice pool and BOWLING! Said run was also accompanied by the comic relief of Gina's homestay dogs that got out when she left and then followed us the entire way
-Went to class
-Walked to a grocery store with a group of friends and purchased bread, avocados, pasta sauce, chocolate bread, and salami
-Took said picnic dinner supplies to Plaza Ñuñoa and had a picnic in the park under a tree on the grass near a fountain
-Followed this $2-4 delicious dinner with ice cream!
-Watched some crazy/awful street musicians do some of the worst tricks possible
-Went to a summer festival of music concert event thing that started out with the Santiago Stompers (a Jazz Band!) and ended with Proyectango which was just a lot of Tango dancing and singing! All of this occured in (janky) bleachers behind a huge, nice building surrounded by trees as the moon was rising behind the snow covered Andes, which you could see incredibly clearly today. Basically, it was an event I would have loved to go to if I were in California. So the fact that it was in such an incredible location with the Andes in the background pretty much kicked some major booty. Minus the fact that the bleachers actually kind of did kill my booty, probably the most uncomfortable bleachers IN THE WORLD.

All in all, an incredible day.

  2. Hi Heather! I'm kind of backreading your Chile blog while at work (nothing to do at the moment, no sick patients needing anything apparently). This post made me laugh so I thought I'd make my comment here. Anyway, I just wanted to say hi, and I'm glad you're having an awesome time in Chile!
