Well, the week went by really quick. On Wednesday some classmates had heard about a Mexican restaurant that was supposed to be close to campus. We were all craving some sort of flavors from home, so we embarked on a long journey to find the Mexican food. It took us over 45 minutes to figure out that it was about a 10 min walk from campus - but we had been given bad directions. Once we found it though - oh the food was so good, it was all worth it.
Thursday and Friday were fine. I studied some each day, because I have my first midterm on Tuesday. I think I will be ok, but tomorrow and Monday, I am going to lock myself in my room until I have all the vocabulary memorized. How exciting...
Today, Kate invited me to her ex-boyfriend's mom's cousin's house in Chile. Anne Rachel is a woman who studied abroad here when she was in college and fell in love with a Chilean man who she then married and now they have 3 kids. So then we went to their friend's house which was super super nice. I had a blast. They have a pool and 5 kids of their own. A lot of the wealthier families in Chile have maids, and they did - so we had this amazing food and service all day. It is so different than in the states. It was great. We ended up staying for 7 hours, and could have stayed longer. Anyway, I took a lot of pictures and I will put them all up with captions on Facebook (for those of you who can see those).
Anyway, So this is Kate and I at the house. Can you tell Kate is from California? I think it is quite obvious. The little girl in the picture is Natalia, the youngest daughter of our hosts. She is 4 and totally fell in love with me. She kept coming up to me, climbing in my lap, clinging on to me, singing songs to us, "selling" us cheezy poofs, and calling me Mia! Mia! which means mine! Adorable! 
I love you and miss you all so much!
