SO.
In continuation:
After crawling out of this jam packed car full of my luggage, trevor's luggage, Trevor, and me, we head into the Rosas/Salazaar house. Trevor is like, this god at spanish or something cuz hes communicating with them about everything... himself, politics, and i"m sitting there like a dumbass! I found that I understood more than I can communicate.
Anyway, after Trevor leaves, I ALMOST shed a tear. But they really got me to talk a lot and I was distracted.
I havent really cried yet! Which is SO surprising because of how easily tears come from me!

So anyway, back to day one. I got there in the late morning so when I got settled in a bit we had almuerzo a la una y media and it was delicious. I was still very quiet and nervous, but seriously, with every hour i spend here i get more and more comfortable. Also, i was VERY jet-lagged. Traveling for 27 hours will do that to you. I ended up taking an unexpected three hour nap after once (own-say) which is like thier mini-dinner before real dinner (awesome). I woke up in time for the real dinner and crashed soon after.

Alright, moving on to day Two. I wish i could remember more details of day one. Damn my bad memory!
So this morning I woke up slightly early to go run errands with Sarita y Vlado. We went to Lider, which is Chile's wal-mart, and the Mall, and the post office. I also learned how to take a Micro to la universidad. While Vlado and I were there, we walked around campus, and then to downtown. We stopped and had a beer with his friend, and then she walked around with us. VERY nice people, for real!

I don't know what else to say really! We chilled around campus for a loooong time. I hope I remember where to go tomorrow morning!

I seriously love it here. Not only does my spanish improve with every hour, but I also feel more comfortable with every minute.

Hey look! I might actually remember to keep up with this blog after all! Its much easier than telling each individual person who asks me about each detail of each day.

WOW I just saw my host brother on TV! It was really funny! It was a live show and they were looking at his journalism group on facebook, and he started facebook chatting with the host of the show , hahahahaha! Look him up and you can see my host bro "Vlado Rosas".

Ok that was exciting.
The family loves to be together, i love that, As i write this I'm in the living room. We're all watching TV and me and Vlado are on our computers. I looooove how they greet each other here! Every single person you meet you semi-kiss them on the cheek with a quick embrace. Its sooo nice! Everyone is really nice! I mean, yeah theres crime here, its a big city, but like family friends and Vlado's friends I've met are insanely nice. :)

So I'm never going home. If I even have one of those anymore.
Miss everybody lots!
Until next time, adios!
