Hola todos de mi amigos

I am safe in Chile!
I arrived late last night, more like 4 in themorning, but I am here and I am spending the day in the city, shopping and enjoying the beautiful culture of Latin America. I hope everyone is well.

Brian! I am glad there are no spiders in yournew house. I didn´t realize that you were moving. I hope the move went smoothly. And I bet Willa is just getting cuter by the day. The kids in Trinidad were looking at my pictures and saw that pic that you guys gave me of Willa and they were obsessed with it. I guess they have never seen such a blond baby! Good to hear from you!

Carlos----- MI AMIGA! I am so glad that you are on here so I can keep in touch with you! I hope the Bay Area is treating you well and you are having fun in the Real World.When i open my orphanage, you can come and bring lots of toys and candy! Lve you

You're in Chile! I'm so glad you're having fun! Did you ever get in touch with Marcela? Are you going to stay with her at all?? I feel so out of touch with you. Probably because there are no novel-ish voice mails coming in anymore. Miss you so much, so let me know what you're doing in Chile!! Hugs, Hugs, Hugs!

Kallie- YES! I love Chile and i am actually typing at Marcela´s computer right now! She picked me up at the train station yesterday and we had a blast going around Valpo, and now we are back at her apartment in Viña and I highly recommend that you come visit her here because oh my gosh it is beautiful. By the way, I hear that you are going to TEXAS!!! Seriously though, I am so gld that you are going, it just fills my heart up with joy to know that God is going to use you there! Marcela and I have talked about you alot and I am glad that she shares the opinion with me that you are AMAZING!!! I lvoe you and I am praying that you stay safe in God´s arms. Becka

a good sign

I live near a long thin park called Parque Forestal. It's really quite a nice park and it has a long stretch of a lane for riding bikes or jogging. And since I have a fear of riding bikes in this city, I jog. It's really pleasent. I usually listen to radioDisney on my mp3 player and jog along to Jonas Brothers, Beyonce, or Julieta Venegas. Great stuff. Yesterday on my jog I noticed that the trees were beginning to change. Fall has finally arrived and I am glad for the change. But as I was jogging through the falling leaves, I began to think about how much I like fall. And I had this special moment when I realized that I want to be here in Santiago, jogging through this park for many falls to come. After the past few weeks of cultural adjustment being a little more painful than normal, this was a nice thought to have.

la musica de chile

For a moment I would liek to ponder the music of Chile. You see, I listen to just about everything (except non-live jazz). Even country, although in this category I limit myself to Dixie Chicks and The Judds (only the old stuff). Here in Chile there is really only a few types of music. One, the corny romantic music that belongs on programs like "Delilah at night". Being the hopeless romantic that I am, I love this type of music. Another type of music is Reggaton (not sure about the spelling, but do I ever spell words correctly?). This is Latin America´s response to Hip Hop. Very good for dancing. I also love the fact that most Reggaton is in Spanglish, my favorite language. There is this other type of music that I like to call the "Corny Electric Piano Musica". Too corny for me and I can only take so much electric piano in one song. I am amazed at how much Englsih music is played here. And people sing to it. they actually know the words, but they have no clue what t

murderous thoughts for cats

I got home from work today, exhausted, only to face the horrible whining of the neighborhood cats outside my window. They used to be really loud, and then in the cold of the winter they disappeared. But now they seem to have returned in full force. I sure hope I can sleep tonight!
