My first days here were amazing. I knew this trip was going to be awesome the second we walked out of the airport and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. The bus ride to the hotel got me very excited and I enjoyed seeing the neighborhoods a little further out.
My favorite thing we did yesterday was take the cable car up to the top of the hill. The views from the cable car exceeded all of my expectations. I am a little afraid of heights but the views were worth it. They were unlike anything I had seen before.

A very interesting experience I had yesterday was going to the grocery store. I was trying to get very basic foods so I could pack sandwiches everyday because of my allergies. Trying to order meat from the deli was very interesting so I just had to point and hope for the best with whatever meat I was given. We all got some interesting looks but overall it was a funny experience. At the grocery store we came across Twistos which I recommend every has once. By the time we all got home the two bags were gone. So far my time in Chile has been very fun and I am looking forward to this week!
I’m also super excited about the weather in Santiago Chile because the weather in Columbus just freak me out. And I was surprised that although the temperature was really high at Santiago, the wind is cool and balance the weather. And I can’t stop taking photo since we got on the bus till the end of the trip.
The cable car was one of my highlight of the trip because l am also afraid of high! However, never let the fear stop you, and we both had the wonderful experience in the cable car. I’m sorry that you can’t enjoy the local food as much as everybody else, and it is also the first time I realize how hard to order the meal for the person who having lots of allergies. But I hope you still have the good experience during this whole trip!
