Typical week

Weather wise, it's been rainy, foggy or both daily. We even bought some new coats on sale this week, because it was just too chilly even with a couple of merino wool tops and our gortex raincoats. The coats were on sale due to the end of the season, but we were glad for them today!

On Sunday, we studied our notes and had a stylishly late Spainish lunch at the grilled meat place near our house. It is kind of like an Argentina steak house, but the meat choices were local chicken, beef, and pork ribs. Phil had ribs. I had chicken (a roasted half chicken!) And you could get seconds if you wanted so we had 4 sauces, potatoes, salad, lots of meat, and a grilled chorizo. I brought half my chicken home for chicken and noodles. Phil even had some ice cream!

Monday after class our school activity was in the classroom and involved imagination. We had fun with students from the other levels.

Tuesday, Phil and I stayed in town and ate lunch at a brunch place. The school activity later that day was a tour of places where two famous women authors had lived and worked in Santiago.

We've been walking to school (rain or shine) and taking the bus home after class. We're getting in between 4 and 10 miles per day walking. We hope to make another day trip this weekend although we are not sure where just yet.Weiterlesen
