As I sit on the hotel couch updating this blog, I am enjoying a delightful dessert courtesy of Fragola, a Santiago gelato shop. Amaretto is the flavor of the night. While deciding which flavor to order, I sampled many including nutella, coco and limon. My taste test strategy not only...

Mis Amigos Por La Vida - theyre like really really really thin pancakes

We just finished up our halfway point here in Santiago, and one thing that has become painfully apparent to me is how absolutely blessed I am to be on a trip in a marvelous foreign country with 20 of my best friends. Granted, some people have developed tendencies to hang out with a specific...

Day 2!

Today has been a great day so far in Santiago! Luckily, because of our schedule, we were able to explore a little more of the city, and I am loving every second of it! This morning, we all woke up bright and early to go visit the U.S. Embassy. Before we left though, we grabbed a quick bite to...

Dia Numero dos

I have just completed day two on the trip and have been having a blast so far. I have traveled around the entire city, used the subway, climbed to the top of San Cristobal (because we couldn't find the trolley), eaten some amazing food, been to the markets, and much more. The language barrier...
