Well I am officially in Chile! I landed this morning at 10:00am (6:00am Colorado time). The flight was long (9 hours) but, since it was at night it wasn't that bad. And to be honest landing here in Santiago didn't feel like landing in a different country, the souroundings looked very similar to landing in Arizona. However, after making it through customs which thankfully wasn't difficult I met up with my ISA study abroad group and we all took a bus to our hotel. After setteling in briefly we all went and had lunch. My group then had the priviledge to go and tour the Chilean equivelent of the White House, which was great but slightly less formal than what I imagine touring the actual White House would be. I've only expierenced a small part of this city and the Chilean culture but, I have still enjoyed everything that I have done so far. Luckily I have some free time tonight to really settle in and do some exploring, becuase I feel like I am going to have a packed Schedule for the next few days. But, I am here, all is well, the parents have been contaced, and I feel more ready to take on this new South American world! (even if my spanish needs some work).
I'll have more photos soon!!
