Some pictures

Here are a few pictures from the other volunteers that I stole...

Laundry.

I'm officially a resident of Chile!

Actually, I have been for a while, but now I have the ID card to prove it. Photo's kind of blurry, but its' the best I could do with the iSight I'm using on my computer. Not the best ID picture I've ever taken...glasses are crooked and I think I look a little goofy, but oh well. I also blurred out my ID number. Chileans use it for everything, so it's not that big of a secret, but, hey, better safe than sorry. After all the lines and bureaucracy I had to go through to get this, it feels pretty good to finally have it. Makes everything a little more real. Anyway, off to lunch, more to come later.

My Room - Take 1

Hey all-

I moved into my host family's house yesterday, and just took this quick video of the top floor where my room is located. I imagine I'll replace this with one that has me speaking and not as poorly shot. This is sort of test-run I think. Anyway, the first room you see is a little common room, then I head down the hallway towards my room. My family here was even kind enough to put up a welcome sign with balloons! I was excited to see that I have a TV with cable, and a great view from my window of the cerros (hills) and the Congreso Nacional (Their National Congress), which is the last big building you see (looks like a big upside-down U). I'm off to lunch right now, more to come about my new living situation later.
