The Rain Boots

So, on Friday it rained in the city. I was so excited because it gave me a chance to wear out my rain boots. The rain made it difficult to walk on the streets because everyone had an umbrella. It is not uncommon to have the umbrellas bump into each other, I needed to learn how to walk again; but this isn't a bad way to meet someone! Saturday and Sunday my mom and dad went to Santiago to buy little things for "Dia del nino". This stands for day of the kid and is Aug. 10. If I hadn't mentioned before, my mom owns a little Disney store called Dis Planet, her business should do better this month. I always stop by the shop to say hello to her after school.
Speaking of school, this Monday was my first day of class. I went to the Spanish class that the COPA exchange program requires. My teacher is precious and labels herself as "politically incorrect". I expect a lot of debate and an exciting class. My classes with actual Chilean students will begin on Aug. 18th. I still have a lot of time to spend in the city.
The sunset is beautiful right now, wish you all were here!
Un abrazo
xoxo... Kati
