First Day with Students

We're just ending our Day 4 in Chile (I think it's day four...)and we had the opportunity today to try our hand at communicating with students on our own. It went better than I thought it might for me. Chileans are rather notorious for speaking very VERY quickly, even other native speakers have trouble understanding their Spanish. As such, I wasn't sure I would be able to comprehend the speed of their speech. I held my own, though, and had a great time getting to know several of the girls. We had an English Club meeting today that was a great opportunity for us to practice Spanish, and the Chileans to practice English!

Today we also ate Döner kebab. If you're thinking the same "Donner" I was--you're wrong. We ate this Döner, not this Donner...We also ate a massive hot dog for dinner, finished off by delicious gelato--I should not eat for a week!
