I feel I should publish something.

We are at yet another family members house, having dinner. I´m amazed at the number of family members that these people keep in contact with. Either that, or Jake and I are being paraded around as the attractions of the year. Kind of like a traveling geek show. It´s probably a combination of both, there isn´t a lot to do here in grand old Antofagasta.
The family wanted to make sure that we could use their computer and internet, a seemingly rare thing here.
I have fulfilled my duties as a guest, have a great Sunday, wish me luck on the start of classes Monday!

Hi Doss,

Really glad to hear you are going to live and your head is no longer feeling like is may explode! Just remember to hydrate (no tap, bottle only)!

We look forward to reading your blog every day. It is always good for a laugh, information, and simply a great read. Keep up the great work.

By the time you read this you may have already taught your first class, but good luck anyway and have a great time. We are sure you will do a wonderful job and your students will love you.

Take care, and remember, hydrate!

What a fantastic experience you are having... the hostel life before teaching seemed to be a worthwhile choice. I'm glad you are feeling better and keep drinking that bottled water! I look forward to hearing about your students and your teaching experiences. You are busy!

This is for those of you who may not be familiar with blogs, but you can post comments on the stuff that I write. Comments, suggestions, observations, criticisms or whatever. If you do this, it will help me determine what people are interested in hearing about.

A little trip up North and back to the smell.

Wow, a lot has happened in the past few days. I really dislike not having the time to type in this blog. It may seem kind of lame, but I look at this blog as a form of meditation. A time where I can review the experiences that I have in a relaxing manner and try to understand what the heck has occurred from the last time that I updated it. Meditation may seem like a strange thing to say when I’m sitting in a comfy chair with a computer in my lap, but that is what I feel like when I am done, although I tend to still be a bit tight in the shoulders and lower back. Last time I updated, we were heading off to San Pedro. We were planning on leaving on Friday night, but we couldn’t get tickets until the next morning. What resulted was an impromptu hair cutting party for Jake. After that was a rousing game of cards with some amazing cards that Katie had. They all had breeds of cats on them, each card displaying a different breed. That’s 58 different cat breeds, including the jokers. I

Is it normal to fear the next meal?

I've survived the second day of school, and I have to say that I think I did better than yesterday, and that's all that I can hope for. Before I start taking about school, I would like to introduce you to my "Chilean Mother." She is one of the sweetest people that I have met, this is a picture of her that I took with my computer. I think she is trying to kill me. Jake and I arrived at home after school. We were both tired and ready to relax. She had prepared a simple meal for us of bread and luncheon meat. This was not the normal size of meal that we were use to it, but Jake and I were more than happy to have a light meal and just relax for the evening. I felt so good afterwards that I went out for a 20 minute run, one of the first that I had had in months. After taking a shower and relaxing upstairs watching "FAME", (think of a three way love child between American Idol, Big Brother and Bay Watch), it was 10:30 and Jake and I were about ready to go to
