Last week I went to Talca, about an hour away, to visit my friend from wisconsin. We were in the house practically all day because it was so rainy! We watched american movies and even ate american candies that her mother had brought her the week before from the U.S. It was so weird! I even ate PEANUT BUTTER! only an exchanger knows how weird it is to be in another country and forget about things so normal that we used to do/eat. Nutter butters! I just about flipped out hehehe. But then after that weekend i was so excited to see my host family again, i missed them a lot! and it made me sad because ill have to say goodbye to them and i wont know when i´ll see them again. I dont have pictures from those days because my camera was in my backpack at a friends house... so srry.
We´ve had a week of RAIN and WIND so strong! Bridges are falling down all over the country, my city is literally isolated because both sides of the highway have fallen bridges. If someone wants to come here they have to get off a bus, WALK across the weak bridge and someone has to get them on the other side. I didnt have school all week because of it!
My spanish, everyone asks me, its good. Am i fluent? NO . i understand everything, can say everything. I´m not too happy with it becase i have a thick accent. I know HOW to say everything, but when i try to say it, it comes out so gringa! and i dont know if that´ll change at this point. double RRRR´s and LLL´s are the WORST. But hey, Its a ton better than when i got here.
My dog had puppies agaiN! she had three this time, all girls. They are abut 2 weeks old. and so big because they have all the milk to themselves!
Its getting colder here, some mornings i am so cold! but this week hasnt been too cold. We go to school with blouses and ties and pants, less fun.
Here is a picture of me messing around wiht my friends in the lunch hour.
