Oh dear, I am a terrible blogger, aren't I? I swore that I would never let another absence in writing go by again, but here it is a full month and half since I've updated. I'll blame it on school, which has been much more demanding this semester than last.
About a month ago, Mom and Anita came for a visit. It was so nice to see familiar faces after being away from home for 8 months! I tried to be a good host, but of course classes took away from my time with them. I did manage to take them to Valparaíso, Viña del Mar, and Isla Negra. Pablo Neruda's third home was in Isla Negra, and now I can say that I have completed the Neruda trilogy, having toured all three homes.
On Sunday afternoon, Chilean mother Nora met American mother Teresa. We had a wonderful lunch prepared by a friend of Nora's. I translated with the help of Natalie, who is Nora's new homestay student.
You'll have to talk to my mom and Anita to find out their impressions of Chile. I was just glad to see someone familiar again.

How lucky! Two Mom's on two continents! G
Nora and Anita look as though they could be related. G
Nora and I may be related. Who knows? My impression is that Chile is an amazingly beautiful country with generous and gracious people. Having said that, I realize that it is very much like Kentucky. There are some differences, though, such as bathroom doors on buses. Eric, you are my new best friend! Anita
I feel like a middle-aged blogger babe!
