moms

ash,

yes, the moms have crushes on me, as do many students.  it's something about having light skin, hair, and bright blue eyes that they really like.  i swear it's like being a celebrity.  i'm getting used to being stared at wherever i go. 

today was amazing as well as yesterday.  this morning, i went to "la feria" 4 or 5 blocks from here, which is like a huge flea market.  you would love it.  it is has many vendors selling everything imaginable, fruits, seafood, socks, pirated DVDs, fish, panties, etc.  it also had many musicians.  one was a family of 3, the father had one leg and one arm, the mother, a couple teeth, and the daughter of about 12 years old was crying for some reason.  they were singing loudly without music.  i felt really sorry for them, their desparation, trying to survive with the talents they could scrounge up. 

today i was on my host brother's bike.  as soon as i got home my family said "vamo?" to a waiting auto with the neighbor driving.  we went to "el campo", basically the country, in the mountains, and spent the day playing futbol, dancing the "cuaca", talking, hiking, playing guitar.  we also had some delicious tea prepared over a small campfire.  

after the sun dropped we stopped at a rodeo.  it was a strange type of rodeo, where two men on horseback try to steer a small cow to certain parts of the ring for points.  it was wild.  i felt sorry for the calves that were scared to death and in "flight" mode.

vamo por bueno vino chileano ahora...

mucho amor,


jack

hey sweets, its really nice be dreamed about! to be honest, i'm not sure. but i imagine i'll be ready to come back by xmas. especially knowing what great fun it's going to be...

today was my last day at school. it was amazing. they put on a big performance for me with singing, dancing, fashion show, speeches. they made me dance the "cuaca" a couple times. they gave me a sweet gift that is a framed pic of all the students as a group. there were tears. lots of little girls gave me love notes complete with colorful drawings. "mucho echo de menos tio jack...." mothers were lining up to have their pics taken with me. god i'm going to miss those kids and this place.

now i'm going to go search for a new laptop. mine is just too slow to handle what i need it to do. plus the neighbor wants to buy this one.

chau for now,

jack
