Post-Departure

Upon return to Columbus I was very sad. We were greeted with dismal weather and a slow baggage claim process. Immediately I missed Santiago. I missed the warm sun and friendliness of the people. I also missed the absence of technology that I enjoyed so much while being abroad. This was truly a once in the lifetime experience and I wished we were spending another few weeks there. Experiencing the Latin American culture made me want more because it was something I have never experienced before, even having traveled before. I would have loved to have more time to visit the market in a smaller group because that was something I have never experienced before. Just the rush of the people and aroma of the fresh produce was delightful, and something I wish we would have done earlier in the trip. I miss the fresh fruit vendors that would be outside our hotels, and just how fresh everything was there. I would also like to get to the country side and experience more rural Chile as well. Of course there was only so much we could do in 10 days but I be excited to learn more in class about what we did not see.
