Your photos make us feel as if we're getting acquainted with Chile. Thanks.
Buenos Dias Laura,
Como estas? How are the language classes going?
Love,
Pat
So glad you're enjoying the blog!
Chile is such an incredible place! I hope to see as much as possible in these next three months.
Pat, the classes are pretty tough- it's an excellent school and very demanding. But no pain, no gain, right? :)
Besos, Laura
