Rachels blog- Viña

Hola!!! How is everything en estados unidos? We had a great (tiring) day. We took a two hour bus ride to a coastal city called Viña Del Mar. It was muy Linda (beautiful). We took another bus to a city called Valaparaiso.....even more beautiful! It was the cutest city! Lots of colorful houses, and LOTS of hills. We found the cutest restraunt where they served us fantastic VEGETARIAN food (needless to say, I was relieved). We then came back to Viña Del Mar and walked and walked and walked, and sat in the shade to recover from our exhaustion, then walked and walked some more. We mainly walked up and down the beach. It was really great to watch everyone....una problema is that you ahve to pay to use the bathrooms...hmm...those who know me know where I was spending my money...hehe... Anyways, we then went to dinner at a nice place and walked some more, and here I am. That was our day....WALKING. It was great though, and the cities are so cute and beautiful. I do love it here. Mucho !!!!!! Tonight we are taking and overnight bus ride to La Serena where we will be renting a car and driving to some little fishing village that supposedly has a great beach....I am excited to just chill and also to drive the rental car (thanks Rico!). ;) Have a wondeful night, and hopefully you will be hearing from me soon! Adios!!!!!!!

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!
