Yesterday was the first day that we didn't have to be on the run the whole day with activities. That also means it was the first day that I could sleep in which was great. I filled my day with relaxing, and relaxing on the beach. And I have to say that is something that I could get used to. After having some empanadas and a beer at a beach restaurant my group made its way back to our houses by way of the micro (bus). However it was on this micro that I had my first experience with someone trying to pick pocket me. Luckily I stopped it before my phone was gone but it just goes to show that no where is really safe. I returned home and had a great meal for dinner; it was a type of soup/stew with vegetables and pork. Probably one of the best dishes that I have had here so far.
My night consisted of going to a bar so that I could start to celebrate my birthday! Which is today. The bar was great and hanging out with a bunch of people was a lot of fun. However the end of the night leads me to my next statement. Never be unappreciative and always be great-full to those around you. Nothing bad happened and there are no real problems however, here in Viña you have to walk everyone home. And in-turn that's what my friends and I did for two other ISA students we meet at the bar. Which I'm totally fine with. However getting me lost in Valparaiso which is incredibly hilly because you can't remember how to get home is not fine with me. And again not a big deal but the lack of appreciation was where I got a little mad. I'm over it now and everything is great again! But let's just say there are now two people who I will not be associating with here again.
On a much happier note, I've received great birthday wishes, had some great food, and life is good! I can't wait to see how my birthday here in Chile progresses and I will be sure to keep everyone updated! ¡Nos vemos!
P.S
It's a long story and you can ask me later, but I blame Elton John for all of my problems... And guess who played a show here in Viña last night.
A little bit of humor to end things.
