¡Más vino por favor!

First, I know I have said it probably in every post but I WILL POST PHOTOS soon. Starting with last night; it was relaxed just like the other nights here and consisted of hanging out with friends and having a few drinks, but the good news as I said before is that my spanish is getting better and as I start to relax about speaking it the better it gets. Also as I suspectd today was just as busy as the last, however today we were able to visit a vineyard (my first visit to one). The experience was great but, it was a little comical because there was clearly an issue in the past with people drinking too much because we had a 3 glass limit when doing the wine tasting. However the experience was still great and if I talked to you before I came here; I am slowly achieving my goal of becoming a wine expert (not even close). After the vineyard visit we took a bus to a plaza which was very similar to the feel of Cherry Creek (a very high end area). After not buying anything we then took a bus to the top of a "hill'' here in Santiago where we were able to see the entire city, probably one of the best views I have every seen. This is going to be the first picture I post. It was almost overwhelming to see how large this city really is. After taking in the view we went back to the hotel and had another orentation meeting where we were able to get more specific information about living in Chile and about the schools that we are going to be attending. I'm not sure if it is good or bad yet but the school I am going to be attedning is almost like a Chilean DU (private and full of students that have lots of money). However, I am very excited to actually be traveling to the ciry I am going to be living in and to meet my host family.

Tonighti in order to save money me and some friends decided to cook pasta, which was a great idea because a package of pasta here is only $1 to .50 cents. And after a nice dinner we decided to go out again, and we all have started to live by the phrase "When in Chile". Agian a relaxed night with friends, but this time we didn't have to worry about getting up as early. And again I am now just sitting in my room writting this post, but tomorrow I will have much more to write about as I am meeting my host family! So again nos vemos!
