This Sunday, a group of EAP students and I climbed up San Cristobal, the highest view point in all of Santiago. The guard at the bottom told us that it would only take an hour to climb up the mountain. Two and a half hours later, we made it to the top in time for a colorful sunset. The hike was approximately 5 kilometers, almost 3.3 miles.
In this picture, you can clearly see the layer of smog that constantly covers Santiago....gross!
The majestic snow capped Andes. Jack and Esther, maybe you could take a trip down to teach me how to ski.
Words of the Day: ola=wave, terremoto (also, temblor)=earthquake,
Also! In honor of Alexis's wedding coming up, here are some family/wedding vocab so all the O'Briens can speak Spanish at the church and at the reception.
