Back in Santiago

On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday we have an very intense schedule of classes. Spanish language and culture classes for 6 hours and our 2 hour graduate class (in English) with Dr. Nero. We are really starting to make a connection between our experience learning Spanish and the psychology and sociology of learning a second language. We are able to discuss many real life experiences as we read and learn about acquisition of a second language. We have our graduate class from 5-7 PM. Thank goodness Dr. Nero is such an amazing teacher!
The weather has been kind to us. It sounds like some of the weather at home is as hot as it is here. We had a little rain yesterday that cooled things off a bit. As far as the bugs go, they seem to like some of us better than others. Tomorrow we'll be visiting a cigar factory and the next day we'll go to the local market. Everyone here has made us feel so welcome and at home. Tomorrow I'll try to add some more pictures.
We have lots of homework and I'd better get busy doing it! More soon...

Sounds like you're having a great trip! Have fun learning, and (if they have them down there) have a Corona on me! Talked to Tony last night and he says Hi! So-so weather here in KC Job at Harry & David going well. Looking forward to more pictures of DR!
