Espanol, Espanol y mas Espanol

Since we´ve arrived, there has been no break from espanol. It´s spanish all day and all night. If we want something, we have to flip the switch and try and speak. The spanish here is very different than la espanol mexicana we once knew. But I think we´re starting to get the hang of it. We start every day with a delicious breakfast-compliments of abuela, and head off to school around 9:30. We take 2 buses to get to school but it runs smoothly as their public transportation is amazing. The school is located in an upscale area by the business district. It´s a beautiful neighborhood with lots of trees and classic buildings. Below are pictures of when we flew over the 20000 foot Andes (Santiago sits at the bottom of these mountains), our room, one of the many parks where we like to study and a typical jugo de pina customario a Chile.
