Update

Not too much going on lately, been going to class every day, and going out at night celebrating birthdays and any day really. had a good time in Valparaiso, just put some pictures up on facebook. It was nice to get out of Santiago; all the Chileans say "Santiago is not Chile," and they're definitely right. We took a harbor cruise, walked through some of the poor neighborhoods, and took one of the funiculars (elevators on a hillside). Heading North to La Serena which is a seaside town that's near some world famous observatories because the deserts nearby make it one of the darkest places in the world and the stars look incredible. In Chile the skies are s bright at night that their constellations are composed of the negative space in the night skies where the stats aren't... I can't wait.
