Pictures have been updated- there was a slight technical difficulty and I didn't realize my recent pictures were not being posted. Have a look, there are some new things in there.
Class was interesting AGAIN today, but we have all decided we are tired of talking about and comparing North Americans to South Americans. I could talk about the American Dream all day and ponder the psychological issues that we face...but it's gotten old. I/we are over it. En fin.
Directly after class today, the "International Volunteers" including myself took a bus to the main University of Vina del Mar campus which is located on the very very top of a mountain-like hill that overlooks the entire city of Vina del Mar. There, we participated in a sort of pat-yourself-on-the-back meeting/orientation for volunteers and saw/met several of the chairpersons for the organizations which we are helping this year. Afterwards there were empanadas!
A little while later, UVM had a huge party right outside, on campus. It was awesome. There was food, people were dancing everywhere, they were selling cokes, water, beer...

I came home for a late late late lunch and will relax and organize my room, clothes, thoughts,papers, etc. before my completely free day tomorrow. I hope to spend it on the beach- the whole day.
Priscilla just came into my room and invited me to watch Balty dance the Cueca at his school on Saturday, YES! This is going to be hilarious.

We leave Sunday for La Serena and its looking like it may be the best trip ever. Can't wait, and can't believe its spring break.
Until tomorrow,
Lesley
