From the fast lane to the slow lane

Life has slowed down in Los Andes, Chile. I have learned the patterns of daily life, like setting six alarms at night to make sure that I get up on time or how to take a colectivo everywhere in my city. School is wrapping up here soon and soon the daily 75 degrees outside will rise into the hundreds. I have traveled a little bit in Chile already, visiting Santiago, Viña del Mar, Valparasio, La Ligua, Papudo, and Olmue. This friday, I leave for the first Rotary trip for a week in Patagonia. I am very excited for this and being able to be all together with all the exchange students again. After Patagonia, I will be going to Vina del Mar for three days to help the Chilean future outbound exchange students decide what country they would like to go to. I will sure to post an indepth blog post on that trip when I return. Time is flying here and I can not wrap my mind around how quickly the days pass.
