Brian-
We started Spanish classes on Monday. So far they have been really easy and mostly just a review but they are starting to pick up. We have gone to a couple of different places in Santiago. We went to a the Plaza Moneda which is where the Presidential Palace is. We also went to Pablo Neruda's house in Santiago. He was a famous Latin American poet who won the Nobel Prize in Literature. We also went to Cerro San Cristobal which is a hill with little church and a huge statue of the Virgin Mary overlooking Santiago. It was very beautiful.
Our host family is very nice. The mother, Vera, is from Russia and speaks Spanish, Russian and English. The rest of the family consists of Carlos, the father, who is really nice and Nick, 14, Victor, 10 and Olivia, 7. They are all very nice and work very hard trying to help us learn Spanish.
