Wasting Time

Since the last post, I have not left Santiago since yesterday. I have graduated, started a new job (or 4), moved into a new house, met lots of new people, spent most of my days solely in Spanish, and grown in love with produce. This post will be mainly just pictures as I have taken a surprising ton of good ones, but the theme is only my life in Santiago and a little tiny bit in Valpo.

There was now on the Andes when I first arrived here. It was not until this last week that the snow returned finally to the mountains. From Los Dominicos I could see the snow capped Andes (none of the pictures turned out) while sitting under a palm tree.

This picture is of interest because I have spent the last 9 months ranting about how one time this stupid drunk man kicked my soccer ball into a tree. I came back in June only to find that my soccer balls still remains wedged into the tree. If you look in the center of the picture you can see that I have forever made my mark on Los Dominicos.

I have to always be careful. From the picture below, you can see the little white glow of the Virgin Mary. She is always watching... always judging.

While Valpo is not Santiago, it is close enough that you can count it. Winter time Valpo is colder and almost without tourism, but wonderful none the less.
