#IsThisRealLife

Today was very calm compared to the previous days!  I got up late and had breakfast.  Then I finished my powerpoint and worked on updating my travel journal.  The whole family had lunch together before Papa had to go back to work (fish, rice, potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, and boiled eggs).  It was good...expecially the fish!  After lunch all the kids walked Papa to the bus stop.  We didn't really have to walk too far and I liked seeing new parts of the city.  When we got there we went to the ticket desk because he didn't have a ticket yet.  He had to be on a bus at that moment because his plane was leaving at a certain time in Santiago.  The ticket office said there were no more tickets so he went outside and waited in line for one of the buses.  Since people weren't showing up on time they just let him on the bus...only a well-traveled person would know to do that here.  We walked back home and then I left to meet most of the group at Cruz Verde.  Once everyone was there, we walked together to buy our bus tickets to Pucon for this weekend.  It wasn't really a hassle and there were tons of tickets left so everything worked out with that.  After buying tickets, we walked all the way across town to get helado from a specific ice cream store.  It was so goof and definitely worth the walk.  Once we ate helado everyone split up into different groups.  Elizabeth and I went to the artisan fair and walked around there for about 2 hours looking at everything.  We got a few things but mainly looked.  After the fair we walked home and when I got here I made pound cake for everyone.  It wasn't a big ordeal...I only cracked an egg onto the counter, almost dropped the mixing bowl on the ground, and struggled mixing some things but it turned out well and everyone loved it :)  We ate dinner (amazing leftovers from lunch + cantelope) then I edited my project more.  While I was doing that Elizabeth messaged me and said that the thief had tweeted on her account from her iPhone.  We freaked out about that for a while and we were both like...seriously is this real like or is this a game show or something?  Then, I practiced presenting my project to Rodrigo while he corrected my grammar in my powerpoint/politely tried to mask his laughing at my presentation skills in spanish.  It really wasn't bad though!  We're supposed to talk for 10 minutes and I rambled on for 20 so I think I'm set on the time limit.  After that we actually ate the cake then I skyped Mom & Dad then Savannah!!  I talked to Savannah for an hour and at the end MC, Elizabeth Rhee, Meredith, and Courtney came in so it was fun to talk to them for a little while!  Sounds like everyone's having tons of fun at good ole Wofford :)  Love & miss everyone!  I'm having a great trip but I can't wait to see yall soon!
