bienvenido

Welcome to Chile! I have arrived in South America! To summarize the experience so far: indecipherable Spanish, baskets of bread, empanadas, Proyecto Aprender McGill 2010 plus otros americanos, walking tour of Santiago, street dogs (perros de corer), Coca Cola Light, cobblestone streets, smog, semi-comprehendible Spanish, and, of course, pisco sours. Our schedule this week is simple – get up at 8am for a breakfast of bread and butter and powdered coffee. Nescafe all the way! We head over to EOD training til 6pm and then back to the hostel it is. After dinner, which varies from stew to stew to stew and flan, which can be found the next morning at breakfast, too, we get $2 wine from the store and drink in the back of the hostel. After our cheap but high quality wine buzz wares off, we walk as a big, loud American group over to one of the cafes for pisco sours.
