The time has come . . .

We've finished our exams, packed our bags and said our goodbyes. My school days in Chile are officially over!! Its been a very fun and emotional couple of days trying to spend time with Sara and Nathalie before they left. They've been such wonderful friends to me and they were a huge part of making this trip so memorable for me. I am very happy to have met them and I look forward to seeing them again soon!!

Meanwhile, Colin arrives tomorrow! I've gotten a transfer all set up to take me to the airport bright and early. Needless to say I am super excited to see him. Being away from each other has been a little hard at times (even though I think we've both managed it super well). Skype is awesome but seeing him in person will be even better!!

I've got some pictures from the last couple of days here in Santiago. They are from our goodbye dinner that we had last week.

We made friends with the owner of the restaurant and he wanted to be in our group picture haha

And one more from an asado a couple weekends ago:


Like I said before, I will be doing my best to keep ya'll updated on our activities. We will spend the first few days in Santiago visiting the museums, markets and all of that. Then we will head south on the 15th and thats when the fun really begins!! I don't think I will be able to share pictures though since I won't have my computer with me. But I will post them when we get back.

I hope you all are well! Love & miss you all lots!!
