April 23, 2011. The picture was taken in a place called "Cajon del Maipo" a couple hours away from Santiago, Chile at "Termas Colinas" (termas meaning hot springs). We were EXTRAORDINARILY lucky because it rained the night before we went so there was snow, leaving a pristine view reminiscent of Narnia; However, had it rained too much the van would not have been able to make it up the mountain. In the entire year that I lived in Santiago it only rained about 6 times, and all my other friends that visited only had a view of dirt. Changing from 2 pairs of pants, a scarf, hat and mittens into bathing suits was surreal. The luck of everything falling together, and the juxtaposition of snow covered mountains with hot springs was magical.
I've decided to pick up and move to Chile for 10 months to teach English. I'll be working for Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE) http://www.ciee.org/teach/chile/index.html.
My little 10 month adventure will begin sometime in
February 2011 please email, leave comments, and skype with me! Or better yet now that you have an excuse to travel, come visit me!!!
