Living In Chile

I am in Chile!!!! I miss everyone soooo much!!!! But as much as I miss everybody I am so surprised at how fast I'm learning Spanish, making friends, and getting into the Chilean life. My sister and I are being home schooled by my dad, and soon will be going to a school. It feels really strange having such a warm Christmas, well anyway Feliz Navidad!!!!

Also it is different living in an apartment, but that I got used to quite quickly actually. I love our location cuz we have a big park right next door, and it is always having huge parties!!!! Like Roxy(my older sister in the picture she's wearing the blue shirt) says in her blog it is quite the hot spot!!! When we first got to Chile a party was going on called Fiestas Patrias, The Chilean Independance day.

Also my mom & dad have gotten to be great friends with another family doing an exchange program (Amelie, in the picture is their baby). We have done lots of outings with them like we went to a place called Yerba loca, along with all the other people that have Fulbright scholarships. We have also done a bird-watching trip with them, and will be spending Christmas Eve and part of Christmas Day with them.

My family and I have also done a bike ride in the desert, and two other bird - watching trips. We have been very busy!!! I can't wait until summer break (winter break for everyone in the US) cuz we hope on doing lots of traveling!!!

Merry Christmas!!!! And Happy New Year!!!!!
