I thought I would update everyone on my plans for this weekend. It is "Semana Santa" and everyone is hauling ass out of Santiago. I don't blame them. There have been sundry protests over the last two weeks over the Transantiago fiasco; some of which have turned violent. I have not been even remotely close to being caught in harm's way since the Metro-gassing incident.
Friday I leave for Buenos Aires. I will be accompanied by two friends from the program. I have been in touch with a friend who studied in Buenos Aires last semester who told me of some places one cannot miss.
Easter Sunday will be spent in Uruguay, which is possibly the most random country on the planet. Seriously, how many people personally know a Uruguayan? I have met ONE in my life. How many news items do you hear about Uruguay? It is a country that I have probably spent only 10 minutes of my life thinking about, and I am very excited to be going there, just to say that I have been there.
Apparently, Buenos Aires has a big cafe culture, so maybe I'll finally get a cup of coffee!
I would be very rude to not thank my friend Eric, who sent me an older laptop that he refurbished. It is from said laptop that I write. I will try to upload pictures onto it for your viewing pleasure.

Patiently awaiting those photos. I would enjoy seeing one of Nora. Thus far the poor dear is just a figment of my imagination. May you have a most enjoyable venture in Buenas Aires and Uruguay. Looking for photos of those places also. mmmmmm, I wonder what the university campus looks like! Feliz Pascua! G
Oh I actually get a mention. Glad to assist. I would hate to keep you from your devoted blog readers. :)
Hope you're currently enjoying a caffeine induced high while sitting at some trendy sidewalk cafe along Avenida Sante Fe.
Pictures, well yeah!!! Sounds like a unique adventure. Look forward to your posts.....Shelia
