Hi!
Today was a wonderful day. I went on a tour with my program COPA. Despite it being a lot of driving around in Chile, all destinations were wonderful. In the morning, we left around 9:45 and drove to a natural chocolate factory. The factory doesn't use any sugar or preservatives in their chocolate. This means it expires within a month of purchase. The factory has 106 different flavors. We got to try celery, oregano, mole, lemon, raspberry, raisin and cheese flavored chocolate. It was extremely unique and very delicious, I definitely bought some chocolate. After this, we got back on the bus and drove to a town specializing in artisan work and 1 kg. empanadas. We got to go shopping for 2 hours. In this town I saw a lot of pottery bowls and pots, chairs, earrings, headbands, scarves, purses. The only thing I bought was empanadas and natural juice. Extremely tasty. So, we get back on the bus again, and drive to the Isla Negra. Don't get me wrong, this isn't an actual island, however it is the house of Pablo Neruda and it was beautiful! Pablo surrounded his life in the ocean, writing, women, friends, alcohol, art, ships, collections and love. It was quite the life he lived! The view from his House to the ocean was also breathtaking. His bedroom faces this BEAUTIFUL scenery. So, after a day of traveling and sightseeing we returned to our wonderful Vina del Mar.
A couple nights ago, I experienced something that would upset Ray Krock. I went to McDonalds and wanted a fresh hamburger with no onions. The employees declined my request saying the kitchen was turned off, and gave me a five minute old hamburger.
A different night I left the club to find the Micro's bumping Regatone music. It's like the after club!
Annnd, when I was on the Micro to the club, all the young Chileans were singing songs. It was extremely entertaining.
Anyways, school is going well. I wrote a five page paper in Spanish, talked about Bioethics and made my first piece of recycled paper.
Hope the weather is nice!
Un abrazo
xoxo, Kati
