Day 1 in Santiago

So I really thought I was dreaming when I woke up to clown-car horns (actually on motores, like little mopeds) and chickens clucking outside my window...but I wasn't! Church this morning w/ mis padres.. I understood waaay more than I thought I would. I loved the priest, the mass was awesome! and not boring like I expected. We're leavin soon but I'm here, lovin' it and my host parents are sooo nice and so much fun!! Already met the neighbor who lives downstairs and her family that lives down the street.. went to the mall and ate some legit dominican food (name will come later.. haha) I'm about to go w/ Fifi & Victor Jose (host parents) to a cross-stitching party or something? haha i'll post pics of fifi's cross-stitching; it's amazing and super time consuming. She makes everything!! Even these huge Christmas dolls. It is so warm outside. like perfect warm, not hot. and there's always a breeze comin in through the window. I think I can dig it. Everyone walks sooo slowly.. and they speak more slowly than Santo Domin..gans? (people who live in the capital) according to Victor Jose. Sometimes it's hard to understand their accents.. especially the neighbor, Isa. She drops the 'S' on endings.. and everywhere else.. haha but she's a blast and her mom says to call her abuelita. I love abuelita already. She knows the location of NY and DC.. so explaining Nebraska was a little strange. There are some sweet watches at the mall.. like every color of the rainbow.. I'll take pics next time. My host sisters get here tonight, can't wait!
This post is a little spastic, I just wanted to get something down before we leave/ I forget! 

Uploader isnt working for pics, but I promise to post some when I get time! I also promise to come up w/ more creative blog titles. haha. Love you all!
