Opera + Death Metal = a fun time for all.

The streets of Antofagasta are always filled with music. Most of it is either Reggaeton, the local music of preference here, Top 40 or 80's music I haven't heard in years. Jake and I have a special treat that sometimes plays above this normal din. We have a group of people that live right next door to us that we have taken to calling "Calles de Antofagasta" or the "Streets of Chile." They practice about 2 times a week and usually play for about 3 hours. The first hour they are a pain in the ear, the second you are starting to wonder if they are just playing better songs and the third hour you want to go with them on tour. They play something that can only be described as Heavy-Metal Opera. Enjoy the Calles de Antofagasta, they are sure to be coming to a stadium near you.

Listen to if for 3 hours straight and TRY to say it's not the most amazing thing in the world.

Three hours? I am sorry, we failed the test. We could only listen to it for about 45 seconds before we turned it down....wayyyyyyyy dowwwwwwwnnnnn! I am sure being a captive audiance makes it easier to listen to. Perhaps I will have someone tie me to a chair so I can listen to it for a little longer. Maybe I will learn to love it!

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
