Christine's Update

(My city)

I've been in Chile for almost two months to the day and sometimes I still can't believe that I am here.

Its Tuesday and I'm on my second free day of the week because the public school teachers are on strike in Chile. School is anticipated to resume this coming Monday.


This past weekend I went salsa dancing at T'Quila, a pub that has started "Sábado Salsero" which are Saturday Latin nights. I went with two friends and we met up with our salsa instructor. It was a lot of fun and I am starting to recognize people and make friends with fellow salseros.


On Sunday I met Rachel and we went to the Museo de Antofagasta. Then we hopped over the main highway to the local seafood market to get the best Empanadas around and look at the sea lions.

Last week we spent an entire morning working on visa and carnet (like a license and SS number) documentation. After we were fingerprinted, photographed, and put into their computer, we got our picture taken.
