O my gosh Amazing! I love love love love love Santiago. Its soooo clean, so friendly of people, so much safer than Buenos Aires. I love Buenos Aires because it is soooo cool and sheek, but its nice to get away to a city that reminds me of home. I was talking with Steven and we were thinking we could live in this city one day, I was thinking that maybe for my graduate studies I could do my thesis work here on environmental studies or agricultural studies for a semester or so. I really love the city and the vibe the city has. Fresh fruit all the time, lots of recycling, very hippie, very my style. I love it! Mommy we have to come here together one day please! Anyway, so yesterday we went to the house of Pablo Neruda, very cool! Very good tour, got a discount for being a student. Then we went to the top of the Cerro San Cristobal to see the entire city and to see the Virgen. Soooo beautiful, this city is very religious. Then later we went to the Palacio de la Moneda where the coup happened in 1973. Very cool! I took pictures and looked at a place that I have heard and read so much about. Very surreal. Then we made dinner for the cool friends we met at the hostel and all went to this German performance in the city center. It was very interesting, lots of acrobats, old german cars, and German soldiers, and I can't really explain it. Very German, kinda like a German circus. Now we are getting ready to head to Valparaiso to head to the coast and the beach and the ocean!! So excited! Then from there we are heading back....a little sad because I really love Chile!!! I HAVE to come back! Maybe I can come spend summers here working or something...I'll figure it out but one day i will live in Santiago, I really really love it!
Well I love you all! Talk to you soon!
Love Rachel
