I'm settling in here and getting used to getting to campus. Right now I'm halfway through a two week Spanish course for the students from UW/University of Michigan. We have class with a great profesora, and little homework. This has left plenty of time for exploration and, of course, a bit of rowdiness.
We hosted a little party at our house last week, with Ramiro's Chilean friends and some friends of mine from UW. We had quite a time (Chileans are used to late nights)! I also took a beautiful afternoon to walk with some friends up and down Cerro San Cristobal, a huge park built on a hill. There are many separate parks, like a Japanese garden and a pool, as well as restaurants and mountain bike trails. At the top is La Virgen, a soaring statue of Mary. Definitely a requisite for any trip to Santiago.
I assume you're settled in by now. What have you been doing this past week? You have a blog now, Mathias. You need to take responsibility. Blogs don't walk and feed themselves, you know. We let you get this blog because we trusted you to take care of it.
