It seems like not too long ago we were just starting class and being introduced to all of the basics of Chilean culture and architecture. Now we are one day away from departing for Santiago, and I couldn’t be more excited. I still haven’t packed or done laundry for the trip, so I have a busy night ahead of me.
It was very exciting to talk to Aimee on FaceTime today because she updated us on all of the restaurants and sites that we are going to visit. I think that I am most excited to get out of the cold Ohio weather and finally get to experience the climate in Santiago. Seeing the weather forecast for our trip has also made me very excited because it looks like it will be sunny and warm every day, which is a much needed change from our current temperatures.
I can’t wait to try lots of new foods while in Santiago. When I was younger I used to be much pickier about the foods I ate, but in the past few years I have grown to enjoy trying new foods, and I think it will be very interesting to try authentic foods from a completely different country.
I am looking forward to boarding the plane tomorrow, and hope that our travels go smoothly so that we can have a great start to our trip!
I look forward to you trying new foods and experiences. Thanks for sharing your excitement, I look forward to traveling with you-Aimee
