Los fin de semanas en Chile

This weekend was kinda crazy. On friday I came home from shcool so I could watch the soccer match. There was a bunch of people here for a barbecue to watch the match. After, I went to Church with my Chilean sister to watch a play. It was so cool. A bunch of teenagers put on a play about the hardship of growing up and the pressures of life. They sang a bunch of songs (even all the single ladies and the backstreet boys in spanish. It was hilarious). After the play, I met up with a bunch of gringos. We went to a club called la sala in Valparaiso. Me and Anne got giggy on the dancefloor to this type of music called Regaton. She was a really good dancer so we decided that every thursday we would go to Llevo for salsa lessons a juntos. I didnt get home until 5 in the morning. On saturday I took it pretty easy. I went shopping in the morning for clothes and a present for my moms neice because it was her 6th b-day. Calle Valparaiso is the best place in Vina to go shopping. The clothes there are super cheap and of good quality. That night we went to the neices birthday party. It was so cute. In the morning me and my Chilean mother and Father went to Maitencilla to their beach house. They lent me a bike and I biked around for a bit along the beach and watched people surf. I cant wait to go surfing next weekend. Maitencillo is pretty small. Not too many people there during the winter but in the summer its an attractive tourist area. The rest of the weekend was pretty out of control, I went out with some friends that night, and at the end of the night I met una chica chilena named Camilla. I ended up at her place that night. Nothing too crazy happened, but Chilena girls are definately muy passionante. The next day I left Camilla´s place after the soccer match. After that I met up with Anne and we went for a nice walk along the beach. We encontered a bunch of other gringos and chatted for a bit (Funny im in Chile and everyone I meet is gringo). On our walk we saw this guy making sand mural. They were the best I have ever seen. What an amazing artist all he had was sand and water and made it into this magnificent lizard looking thing. Another person was juggling fire on a unicycle. People are incredibly artistically talented here. Everywhere I go I always see something amazing. The street performers, the graffiti, and musicians are some of the best I have seen in the world. The weekend had finally come to an end. Oye, los fin de semanas en Chile jajaja!!

 I love Chichou. This is unfermented wine ripe from the vines.
We picked up a couple of bottles on our way to the beach house.
 Mmm Yummy!!

La Universidades y los estudiantes

 School Field Trip to Pablo Narudas House



The first day of clases was on Monday. There were so many gringos there. I met alot of people, exchanged some numbers. The University is located on the edge of Valparaiso. It is a brick building built in the early 19th century. The main area of the university is an open air concept ( So when you are inside, it still feels like youre outside). On the first day we toured the University. We visited where our classrooms would be and chose the classes we wanted to take, but for most of the time we watched the soccer game between Chile and another team in the teachers lounge. It was kinda weird cause the teachers that will be teaching me later were swearing at the TV and shouting loudly. The classes im taking are Literatura y Cultura Chilean y Grammatica. After school my mom picked me up. I think she might be cooler than me because when I got out be was chattin it up with all the other moms. First day of classes went well, I was pretty excited to start classes on tuesday.
