I now only have about 7 weeks left in Chile. My dad and my uncle Jack are coming to visit on December 5th, and we are all leaving Chile together on December 14th. There are still a lot of places that I want to see in Chile, such as the Atacama Desert and Easter Island. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll have time to visit them all. School ends on November 22nd (ironically, Thanksgiving back at home) and then I have two weeks or so of final project presentations and final papers.
Next week I am going to Brazil. A friend of mine who is also here in Santiago for a year and I are going to Río de Janeiro. We leave on Tuesday and return the next Sunday, November 4th. I am looking forward to seeing yet another South American country, going to a traditional sort of beach with palm trees and such, and, of course, practicing my Portuguese. I studied Portuguese for a year back at Georgetown, but I'm afraid I've forgotten a lot of it.
In the meantime, I am enjoying the recently-arrived spring weather here in Santiago. We are now on daylight saving-time and the daytime highs have been in the mid 80s. Finally I can put the scarf, coat, and gloves (which I was wearing even indoors for months thanks to the lack-of-heating situation) back in the closet and wear t-shirts again!
