After getting a late start in Dallas last night, we made it to Santiago this morning. Unfortunately, since our flight was late and we had to go through a swine flu health check line, about 7 of us didn't make it onto the flight to Mendoza. Our professor stayed behind with that group, but Claire was one of them.
My family is great. As I said I'm staying with a mom, Marta, and her two children, Belu and Manuel. They are the youngest of six and Belu is the only girl. Communication so far has been interesting with my incredibly limited Spanish, but they have been patient and I hope they will continue to be so.
Naps are kind of a big part of your afternoon here, which if you know me, I'm all for it lol. Tomorrow is a holiday and I think we may be going to explore the city, which I'm excited for.
I'm so thankful to have made it here safely and to have gotten such a great family- God is pretty awesome.
I'll update you again as soon as I can!
Sarah
