Diez días más...

Hello all, I hope everything is going wonderfully at home. I miss you all, and can't wait to see you. Only 10 more days!! I ended up not going to Santiago last weekend, but I did spend some time with my family on Saturday, then spent the night at Casi's on Saturday night as well as the most of Sunday. On Sunday afternoon I went to an air show with my dad and little brother. It was the first one I have seen, and was very enjoyable. I took lots of pictures of the tricks, and the people I was with as well. On the way there we were almost to the parking lot when the show started, so we all sat outside the windows and watched from there.
Once we got there we watched from the top of the cars.
Afterward we walked onto the main field, and watched a helicopter take off, and then went home. Here is the group. On the right is my brother, Andrei, on my dad's shoulders and Maxi, Andrei's best friend. On the left is Maxi's little brother on his dad's shoulders.

I got all my homework for the week done, so that I wouldn't have to worry about it, and could just study for my tests. This is my last week of Español 213, Cultura and Gramática. The next 10 days will probably fly by. I have two tests tomorrow, then am heading over to Florencia's to play some piano and sing for her. After that we are having Thanksgiving dinner at Florencia's made by all the students. Friday morning I leave with Casi and Kenna for Santiago to site see all weekend, and go to The Killers concert on Sunday night. We will get back on Monday around two. Tuesday I have class in the morning, then my family and I are throwing a huge asado (BBQ/party) for all the gringos, it should be very fun. Wednesday and Thursday I have class again, and will be packing up and getting my last gifts from the mercado. Then it's bye bye Chile, and hello America on Friday. The students and I may be going to Santiago on Thursday night next week to the American bar and watching the Civil War game there, we shall see.

I got to drive last weekend, which was so great. I have missed driving a lot. I drove to Casi's on Saturday afternoon, and then to the train station and home on Sunday. My dad was with me both times, of course. My dad actually gave me an amazing gift this week. When we went to the train station he bought mine and my two friends round-trip tickets to Santiago. He also will have a taxi waiting to take us to the flat they are letting us use for the weekend, and it will be back on Monday to take us to the train station. My mom also bought me minutes for my phone this week. My family is so amazingly generous with me. I will be grateful to them always for all the kindness they have shown me since I have been here.

Well, that's about all that's going on here, not much time left to do anything else. I will see you all very soon, and wish you luck on your upcoming finals.

Chao,
Kayli
