i'm back in chile. I knew i would make it back down here. i was home for a month for xmas and new years, and just as suddenly as my arrival back to the US, i was in chile. again. when i was leaving the first time i told a friend that i would be back. it is amazing what you can accomplish when you know what you are after.
not a lot has changed in chile since i left a month ago. it is still so hot and busy. people still water their lawns with a kind of devotion i have never seen in the US. chileans speak so quickly, but are amazingly generous in every encounter. it feels good to be back. a homecoming of sorts. im staying with the same family that i stayed with when i first visited. they are an amazing group of people. proof of this can be seen by the fact that though their house is completely full at this moment, they have 3 other students, yet they insisted on taking me in as well. the maid, has given me her room and is staying with the child for the next week until one of the students returns home. i feel really bad about putting her out but they absolutely insisted that i stay.
for me their is an excitement about being here and a simplicity to it all. it feels good to be back!
