It is crazy to me that our trip has approached so quickly. I remember sitting in Knowlton for a Santiago meeting in November or December thinking this day would never actually be here. Soon enough, we are about to depart. Since I have never been out of the country before, I am a little nervous to be totally immersed in a new culture and especially a place I do not know the language, but I fully trust and know my teachers and peers will help me along the way. My entire family is eager for for me travel out of the country and surprised me with new drawing material and a new sketchbook!
In Chile, while I am very excited to see the architecture and culture, I am also equally, if not more, excited to see the dogs in their sweaters. My friends and I have planned an amazing free day exploring the Mapio Valley and its many thermal baths, hot springs, etc. I am also looking forward to the food because I haven’t really ventured out and explored different foods before and am. definitely going to have a break from my diet 🙂 Overall, I am SO excited and can’t wait to make memories that will last a lifetime.
Glad you will be adventurous and try new foods and culture. Thanks for sharing your excitement, I look forward to traveling with you-Aimee
Ps the pictures of dogs were from my first visit when it was winter in Santiago. It is now end of summer so there are not likely to be many dogs in sweaters, it isn’t sweater season for them-
