December 7th

Hola,
This weekend was an eventful one with it being the birthday of one of my roommates, Michelle. Her birthday, which is also shared with my parents, is the 5th of December. We had a little getting on friday. We were able to use part of the church for the asado (BBQ). It was delicious and we had around 30-40 friends of Michelle come to the party. Then after the dinner, we moved out to the patio and did a bit of dancing. There was a limbo competition that was quite a hit, (my inflexible self got eliminated in the first pass). The next day we went off to the beach in Quisco for a little R & R. It was wonderful just to be able to relax and to read in the sun. The weather here currently in Chile is very nice. It is in the 80-90's and sunny. The one this that is different is that there seems to be less ozone so the sun burns you a lot quicker than one would expect. It is also very weird to be seeing all of the Christmas decoration and what not when it is hot and becoming summer. It is the typical winter decorations that we have in the US too. Santa is wearing his big coats and there are Christmas tress with fake snow on it. Tomorrow got a busy day with first communion and then the Immaculate Conception of Mary.
