Well, I have become a professional Micro rider. The Micros are a form of public transportation, like buses that go jetting around the city like busy bees. To get to my school In Valpo, I get on the bus called Errasudiz. I will ride it for about five minutes and will have a one minute walk to my school.
This past few days has been time to explore the school, they have taken us on many tours. Each building has its seperate library and some buildings such as history are very far away for the casa central whereas the music building is extremely high in the city. There is artistic and revolutionary grafitti all around the city. On wed, after a few days of boring tours, we went on some very nice tours. For lunch my friend Alysha and I walked to lunch with a Canadian student, and ate at a Cuban restaruant. I had a warm sandwich on white bread, with ham, cheese, tomato and fresh pineapple...tasteeee. After that, I returned to the Casa Central to register for my classes. I am registered for a spanish class, a marketing class, Social and Political problems in Chile, Chilean theater in the second century, Biotechnology and biotheoretics (religious sciences) and working with papers(art). It is a total of 18 hours and I'm extremely excited. Clases begin the 18th of august and I will be with Chilean students in some of them.
Tonight I'm going to drink coffee and enjoy icecream on the beach while a group of "gringos" watch the sunset. Que buuueno!
Un abrazo
xoxo... Kati

Holy Micro's Katie,
Jetting round town like a busy bee eh? I am impressed. Sounds like you are really getting settled in. Now comes the time to make many Chilean friends. What an amazing 5 months you will have. I ordered the plumbing for the commissary yesterday. The postcard business is going crazy, lots of references lately.
Love,
Dad
