Tired to the bone and loving it!


I can't remember the last time I had breakfast in bed, but this morning my host mom and dad brought in a tray with coffee, toast with homemade jam, juice and fruit while I was Skyping with Chris for my pure enjoyment. I'm still laying here as I write this, hoping that the coffee will kick in (and fast). Though I am feeling the effects of 2 days of running around Santiago all day long with few breaks, I couldn't be more content. This is a beautiful city and the people are AMAZING.

Yesterday we went to the Supreme Court in the morning, the Public Market midday and the National Museum and Cathedral in the late afternoon. Last night we got together at a Rotarian's house with Rotarians from the district, including the district governor, and the GSE group that is leaving for Western NC on Sunday. We had a great time visiting and drinking Pizco sours. I was home by 10:45 and knocked out cold by 11. Today while the rest of my team visits Cajon del Maipo I am going with my Chilean mom and dad to meet up with my dad's GSE team from last year that went to Germany (he was a team leader on the trip!). We are driving an hour and a half to the mountains to have a cookout. Though I will miss my American teammates, I am excited to spend the whole day in Spanish in a place where no tourists ever goes with people who treat me like a princess! Sounds pretty good, huh?
