The apartment is quiet right now. I just finished doing some research on the computer and I walked through the apartment wondering where everyone was. The doors to our rooms are generally kept open throughout the day to keep a breeze flowing through the apartment. As I walked through the hallway, I found all the guys in their rooms sprawled out on their beds taking naps to escape the horrible heat today and to make up for last night. It really is quiet precious to watch them, these grown up boys, taking naps. Just wanted to share...
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.
