Hello all! It has NOT stopped raining since I got here....but its okay! I need to invest in some rainboots. I'm sitting in the computer room of the hostel listening to someone strum their guitar and the chatter of people eating dinner which happens to be beef stew tonight. I've been all around town these past few days and eating all sorts of food. There is so much that has happened since Saturday but nothing comes to mind to write now. I saw Pablo Neruda's house (famous Chilean poet) on Sunday and chilled in the Bohemian neighborhood of Santiago drinking coffee (all they have in other parts of town in yucky instant coffee and I was dying for a cup of the real stuff!)
My nights have been filled with sweet Chilean wine and interesting conversations with fellow volunteers and travelers in the hostel. I am learning Portuguese from a Brazilian here.
I got my placement today. I will be teaching English classes in a high school and living with a retired lady who lives 20 min (bus ride) away from the shcool. Thankfully, a few friends of mine are placed close by. I can see myself being really lonely if I don't meet people in the community. I have a break from July 21-25 so my friends and I am planning possible trips to Peru, Argetina, or Bolivia. My attitude is very "whatever happens happens" and will be happy to go anywhere! I got a cell phone here and the number is 011-569-8610-8115. Let me know if you want me to bring you home wine because it is AMAZING here!

Yeah, Katy! I`m happy you're enjoying the Chilean wine. If you bring a bottle home, I`ll certainly taste-test with you.
Asì es la vida en Mèxico...good luck with teaching! I love the students here!
I'll take a bottle of red, please.
