The past 24 hours have been super busy, so I’m just now getting to write this at the airport. I’m really excited to be heading to Santiago today! It’s always a surreal feeling before travelling as though it’s not actually happening. I’m very excited for the food. I went with Serena to Sidebar this past weekend to try some of the food that they had and it was really great. I’m excited and nervous for the weather. I’m sure it’s beautiful, but I’m definitely going to be applying sunscreen constantly. The building I’m probably most excited for is the monastery, however there are a lot of great places on the itinerary. I’m not completely sure what I’ll be doing on the free day, but I definitely want to see the Aravena housing if we can’t see it during the week. There’s also a realy cool church in Maipu (Templo Votivo or Santuario Nacional) that I’d like to get to. I’m nervous for having to butcher my way through the Spanish language, so hopefully enough people speak English or I’m able to recall enough to sound somewhat intelligible. I can’t wait to finally be in the country, because airports and flying is stressful.
