A Visit to the South




I went to Pucon, Chile for three days last week with my host mom. She had to go to a conference there, so she invited me along so i was able to see some of the south of Chile!

My mom left really early Tuesday morning, and I went with four other people that work with my mom in a tiny little truck for the five hour car ride...we left around 11am, stopped for a lunch break, and got to the hotel at like 4:30 in the afternoon. It was misting a little bit, and pretty cold. Pucon is in the lake region of Chile, and our hotel was conveniently placed right at the end of one. My hotel room looked out onto the beautiful lake and mountains. It is the most beautiful place i've ever been. My mom was in conferences the whole time, so I walked around and explored the little town. Most shops were closed because it's winter here, and it's a summer attraction with the lake and whatnot, but I still loved it. I also occupied myself by watching TV shows in Spanish :D

We returned home at midnight Thursday night, and I had to go to school the next day gahh.

Everything is just really normal, but i'm realizing that I only have 7 weeks left here, so I want to make it as not normal as possible. Like doing things i've never done before! Experiencing life! This adventure has been so amazing, and i'm so thankful that I have this opportunity.

Muuchas gracias for reading everyone

P.S.-As my Spanish continues to improve, my English seems to be getting worse...:/
