Wow!!! We are going to Santiago TOMORROW!!! Second semesters always dragged on forever in high school, but it has absolutely flown by this year. Not going to lie, I’ve been so busy recently that I still can’t wrap my mind around the fact that we’re headed to a different country in a matter of days.
Traveling is something I’m so interested in and passionate about that I feel so grateful that this opportunity has come to be a reality. The thing I’m most looking forward to is watching the locals to see how they live compared to us here. Taking in the language, the culture, and (obviously) the food- I can’t think of anything better.
Speaking specifically of the sites, I’m most anxious to see the Costanera Tower and the monastery. The view from the tower looks absolutely breathtaking, and I can’t wait to get a sick panorama video on my GoPro!!! From the pictures we’ve seen and what we’ve learned in class about the monastery, I have the feeling it will be quite special to get to experience the architecture.
Another thing I’m really looking forward to is sitting in Plaza De Armas and sketching the surroundings. Seeing life go past me, hearing all the sounds of the city and people speaking, and being able to experience it through sketching.
I’m just so excited!!!!!!!!!! Santiago here we come.
Costanera and the monastery are amazing. You should talk with Troy, he has been using a GoPro for years, often bringing them on trips.
I look forward to working with you and developing your sketching, please let me know whenever you want to talk about drawing-Aimee
