3 days!!

It has been a great first 3 days. The flight  went smoothly with very few problems. My host family is amazing and very welcoming. They are very patient with my bad spanish and are working hard to teach me more, especially Gabriel.

Sunday afternoon we drove around Santiago on a few mini tours. Monday morning, my host mom and I went downtown Santiago to register for my Chilean ID card. Then we came back to the house for lunch and got my school uniforms that afternoon and walked around their mall... Which was beautiful.

I've only taken a few pictures so here they are:
My door to my room

A traditional dance at I think a festival... We stopped after passing it while driving.



Part of The Cueca... The National Dance

Katie,

I am so glad you have had good first days. I will be printing this for Grandma. She wants to read it.
Love you.
