Sorry about the lack of updates but I've been trying to get in the swing of school and such! So here's a bunch of news hopefully sort of interesting and hopefully I don't forget anything!
On Wednesday of last week (the 17th) I went out with a large group of friends, possibly most of all of our IFSA group, minus a few to Café Journal, which is actually not a café but a bar. This is the gringo hangout of Viña. To clarify, the word gringo is not an offensive term here as it sometimes is in Mexico or other places. It is more just a term to define people who are clearly not chilean. Anyway, this bar was rather fun other than all the smoke and noise level. The music was turned super loud so that shouting was necessary for a conversation. I got home at like 2am, not so late but enough, though I'm pretty sure I lost like $20 there. Which is extremely unfortunate.... :(
Thursday the 18th: Today I went to classes then after Mike and I were going to hang out but my family said they wanted to drive up the coast a little and look at the rocks and view. So I invited Mike with and away we went! It was quite fun, only like a 10-15 minute drive and then we got to get out of the car and climb around on the huge rocks, some granite and some volcanic, which made for a great look. Jorge's mom came with us and we met the cousin on the way back. So I had to squish into the back seat on Mike's lap for all of us to make it back to Viña, luckily the drive wasn't long. Here are some photos that I took while we were there!
Thursday night I stayed in and watched "The Legend of Zorro", the second one with Antonio Banderas, which isn't as good but I was tired.
