Welcome to my blog

Hi everyone - I am creating a blog so that all of you can keep up with my trip to Santiago. I am studying abroad in Chile learning Spanish from January 8 - May 1 and returning to the states on the second. I will be living with the Borquez family who live in downtown Santiago. I have exchanged a couple emails with them and they seem incredibly nice, warm, and welcoming. Please use this blog as you would like, you can leave me comments in response to postings. You can also email me, chat on AIM, and I will have a cell phone while I am down there. All that information will not be posted on here because this is a public site, but is available through facebook and email. Thanks everyone! I'm glad that I can keep in touch with all of you while I am gone!
