Who says you can't go home??

Hola todos!!

So this morning I arrived in Chile. Hard to believe it because it honestly feels like I never left! I don't know what it is about this country, but it just puts me instantly at ease.

So the trip was longer than I remember. I was delayed one hour in Chicago. We finally took off around 3 and landed in Miami at 7. 3 hours with the time change. So then I walked around looking for food, which really found nothing satisfactory and read The Fountainhead until I got on my flight to Chile at 8:30. I sat next to this little viejita! She was so cute and probably around 70+. She just started rambling about the oddest things: The death of her husband, her family in New Jersey, her future trip to Argentina and Bolivia to visit freinds. The culture is just so warm and inviting. I mean every Chilean is just always so friendly and ready to talk and talk and talk. Finally she went to sleep... lucky! I couldn't. But I did manage to watch Ratatouille! It was so cute! The whole cabin was sleeping and I definitely was laughing and gasping when that stupid ghost would show up unexpectedly. I know I'm a dork. Whatever.

So I slept some and then finally got into CHILE! I met this girl who was moving to Santiago to learn spanish because she fell in love with a Chilean man in Montreal! Random... who could blame her? The chileans are b e a u t i f u l !
But... NO BOYS! So then I met up with Vivi and we drove 1hr and half back to my house! I have to sleep upstairs, but its ok. So then I went to sleep and we got up and went out to lunch in downtown Rancagua. Mexican food... it was delicious! hehe. Then we came home and Vivi and I laid out by the pool talking and reading. Gosh I have missed her! She caught me up on all the gossip and it was really fun!

Tomorrow I leave really early for the beach.... PICHILEMU! Sweet name huh? Its supposed to be the best beach down here for surfing... should be cool to watch! It was sooo hot today it will be nice to have the cool ocean breeze. Well that being said I probably won't be able to update for about a week!

Cuidense! (take care) I miss you all!
