Chile!

It's official that I am horrible at keeping up at my blog!
But, better late than never, i suppose.

I am currently on my Christmas break! We have 2 and a half weeks to do whatever we please.
So, right now I am with a group of 6 in northern Chile. We are having a great time so far.

But first, a quick catch-up.
About 2 weeks ago we went on our second ACA trip to Buenos Aires.
It was a lot of fun, and by the end of the 5 days most of us felt like we could navigate around the city
pretty well. We did a lot of shopping, toured different buildings and important monuments, and even found a Starbucks.
From BA a group of about 20 students decided we wanted to go to Uruguay for a long weekend.
So we hopped on a bus and headed to a town about an hour past Montevideo called Punta del Este.
It was amazing, to say the least.
We all spent 4 days laying out on the beach soaking in the sun. The hostel was awesome. We met people from all over the world: Austalia, New Zealand, Germany and Spain.
We finally headed back to la UAP, 10 days after leaving for Bs. As.
Then we started our second quarter of school--i can't believe it! 1st quarter flew by!-- and then less than a week later, we were free for Christmas break!

I'm traveling with a fun little group who all just happen to be from WW. Not really sure how that worked out, but it's kind of fun.
3 guys and 3 girls, and we all get along well, and no big problems yet :) We rode 24 hours to Chile, spent 2 days in Santiago and then after another 24 hour bus ride arrived here in Iquique. not sure how long we'll be here yet...
Anyway,
I am truly having the best year of my life down here. And an awesome vacation.
