A Few Days, A Few Fotos

I've been keeping busy with trips to register my visa, to the mall with my host family and generally wandering Santiago. The weather is nice, a little on the cool side, but nothing terrible.

I had the good luck to catch Cori (to my left) on one of her last nights in town. I had an amazing night making merry with her and her charming friends.

The mountains surround you here wherever you look. The Andes to the east, and the Chilean Coastal Range to the west make for picturesque views, but these same mountains hide themselves. They trap so much smog that on certain days you can see a haze hanging over the city. My lungs are slowly adjusting and I think I almost kicked my cold.

Tomorrow it's off to Valdivia with my host brother and a friend. Should be nice, but colder still. Long johns in July? You betcha!

Chao!
