Time in Santiago

So since my last posting....

1. A night out in Chile with the group that I am staying with.
2. A couple of lazy days in Santiago
3. A couple of days working on my Spanish.


So I am currently enrolled in a Spanish class for the next two weeks. I am starting from my basic understanding of Spanish...so I have quite a bit to work on. After class I spent the day wandering around the city before just plopping down at a cafe close to the apartment. The area that the apartment is in is beautiful. This area of town, Las Condes, is probably the richest area of Santiago and you can definitely tell that from some of the businesses in the district (the Ritz Carlton, Nike, etc.) .

Once I finished class today, I went walking with one of my classmates (a swiss gentleman). We had an educated discussion about the obesity epidemic in the United States and then enjoyed a couple of beers while working on our poor, poor Spanish. My thought is that I definitely left some room for improvement when I last took Spanish. I hope that all is well. Will write more soon.
