So it is raining and hailing crazy here! Apparently, according to my Chilean mom, who I in fact call Mama, this hasn't happened in forever! Not in the city at least. I have an amazing balcony in my room, it is nice and small and has a great view from of the Andes to my left and the downtown, or centro, to my right. She has come in my room twice now to remind that is raining outside and I should realize how rare that is! It is hilarious! She's so excited. Meanwhile, I think my Chilean dad is sleeping in the other room.
Today was the first day I went to the gym--I finally found it! Figures it was in front of my face, or the building next to the one with my classes in it, the whole time. It was huge! And there are multiple floors, including one for intramural soccer games and another for ping-pong competitions! How cool is that. Also, I think Becca and I will start taking pilates in Spanish: Good cardio for all the fried food we eat and we get to learn helpful phrases in spanish.
Speaking of food, guess who ate an entire artichoke today? In spanish, it is alcachofa, but either way it was delicious. Then of course, my peanut butter and 5 cups of tea. I am in love.
Tonight I was planning on going to this awesome area called Los Leones on the metro but seeing as it is like a hurricane outside and I have to walk to and from the metro to my house for 20 minutes, I think it will be Harry Potter 1 in spanish at my house, some more tea, and something with Nutella. Also, I just asked my host brother to join me but instead he told me there was a leak downstairs. I figured out the word on my own through miming and simplifying spanish! It's goltera. I am really learning down here! But I believe he is watching the US Open anyway, which I know my American mom will be doing in the US. We live in such a small world.
Tomorrow I will be more interesting! Or try.
