I have learnt that "mateo" in Chilean Spanish is slang for "a studious person". I wonder if I live up to that description.

It is raining! Usually the typical weather in Santiago in summer is dry heat, but today is cloudy and cool. I had to break the jacket out.

Photo update on the blog: not until next week. I still haven't been re-united with my computer, which is locked in the program office.

Five and a half hours until I meet the family. I'm really nervous.
