So, yeah, if you haven't caught on yet, I'm living in Santiago, Chile. Why, you might ask? My dad got some assignment working with the Chilean Air Force down here. So, I'm doing a blog for anyone who cares about what goes on down here. I guess I'm going to have to start comeing up with a bunch of clever titles for my blog entries like my dad does. lol
Honestly, I thought I was gonna hate it, but I'm starting to like it here more and more every day. This week has been crazy. We've looked at like, a billion houses. We saw this one that you had to take an elevator down to get to it. It was really weird. The one day I decide to stay at the hotel instead of go look at more houses, they find one that everyone really likes. What the heck? Oh well, I don't really think I'm gonna get a say in what house we end up getting anyway. Whatever. Monday and Tuesday we (Lindsay, Carley and I) chilled at the May's house. They have one kid, Sarah, who is Lindsays age. They have a HUGE house! We played the beastliest game of hide-and-go-seek ever! They also have a pretty big pool. We also went there and watched movies Friday night while my parents went to this church social thing. I'm getting better at Spanish. I can succesfully order food anywhere (for the most part) and my mom often asks me for assistance. lol It's kind of scary when someone says something to you and you don't know what they said. It's happens a lot, though. agghhh!
Yesterday was awesome. The little boys were invited to a birthday party for this little girl in our ward at church. She is Henry Clark's kid. Henry's awesome. Even though he has a white name, he's super chileno and barely speaks English. He taught sunday school last sunday. So I went to this party to keep an eye out for the boys, because they don't speak any Spanish at all, and can't really communicate with any of the other kids. I talked with Henry and his wife a lot. They made amazing tacos. And these things called alfohores. They are SO good! The juice, fruit, and yogurt is really good here, too. Anyway, at this park, there were a bunch of different playgrounds. There were two that were different from any playground I had ever seen; one was big, one little. They had metal bars for a perimeter, but the rest was just a series of taut rope that you can climb on. It's really cool. I'll put up some pics later.
Well, I should go. It's late, and I'm waking up early to go work out with Mom.
Peace.

ReplyDeleteI sent you an email because I didn't know I could leave a comment on you blog. Anyway, I've enjoyed reading your blogs. Keep it up. OBTW, you probably should change your Dad's blog link www.beyondcapricorn.com/ to www.beyondcapricorn.blogspot.com/. Trust me on this one. . .
