Back in Chile

Well....here i sit in santiago, back in chile with too many adventures to share than time (both for me to write them and for you all to read them....) I shall start with the recent happenings and we will go backin time. So, we arrived in Chile nights ago, an hour and a half delay with the flight It didn`t bother me much, i was in high spirits to return to my friends and such (altho being in santiago....have only seen one...but that comes latr) We got to the house at 4 30 am (customs, and our transfer driverwent the wrong way....good thing we paid a flat fee....) We had sandwiches with avocado forourfirst food in chile. ( So delicios, avocado.....we eat it with salt here on sandwiches and stuff quite frequently and i missed it like crazy) We headed to bed around 5 15 or so....staying up to talk with my host aunt about the trip. Next day, w enjoyedreggaeton, music that they don`t listen to in brasi....that lisette and isang quite frequently but to sing is not the same as to listen. I met more of my Chilean extended family ( a funeral brought thm to stgo). Today, I met up with my best friend from Punta Arenas. We walked the distance of 4 subway stations (i hadleft the subway when she wasabout to enter, and I didnt want to buy anotherticket. We were (forgetthe word....) appreciating the good walking weatherbeforewereturn to punta arenas. We visited Santa Lucia, the place wher Stgo was founed,and i waswithout camera. They were using itin the house to download fotos from brasil...I met her sister and niece of 5 months (of whom I had seengrowing up in fotos, but it was so awesome to hold her in my arm...incredibly smily and adorable!) I set an alarm so that Iwouldn`t be late leaving to return, and now here i am. Alexi, my host brother is also here, and we were chillin yesterday. Cool guy, lots of laughs. I found out theother day that when we get back to p.a.,my host dad will be leaving after about a week until the beginning of may. It`ll be different....but as crazy as it sounds, i`m excited to go back to school to hang out with my friends (today the question of who i`ll sit with...
So..we went to rio the 15th of feb I loved it. The uncomfy part was the SUV meant for 5 with 7 people. We were 4 in the backand one in the trunk. The other passengers weren`t exactly tiny either.....we went squishy...but its a memory. The sugar loaf....gorgeous, lots of foto ops. Afterwards, we went to see the statue of the Christ, but it was all clouded over, so we have pics of the shadow. We also wentto the copacobana for some pics and i got my feet wet (unfortunatly te beaching it part of te day was mosty over....) We went to buzios....tourist beachtown for the night and beached it thre the next day. GOOORGEUS!!!! Many storiesto tell....Altho i did go to sao paulo one day for some shoppin. The boredom led to the yearning to return to Chile. I missed my punta arenanansian friends and such....
Well.....i think thats all for now...oh, one thing more. I spent teafternoon in the city of an exchange friend from canada, Becca, but i didnt have her phone number, and not enough time to adviseher via email that I wasgoing...bummer. We trave back to punta arens onsunday.....back to the cold. I will die of cold i think after th heat of brasil...good thing i have some adjustmen time in santiago. Classes start monday....
And thats allll
