Viva Chile!

I arrived in Chile Tuesday on a rainy winter morning but I was all warmed up when I hugged my friend Ursula! I´m so excited to be here! It´s wonderful to learn more about my friend, who she is, and where she comes from. Ursula was a big part of my life in France. We shared all of the good times and challenges of life in France. She was their from day one when we both spoke very little French. It must have been hilarious to hear the two us babbling like kids. Ursula understands my experience in France like nobody else can, and she understands what it´s like to go home. I can always tell someone my history, but I feel profoundly connected to someone when I have lived a history with them. That´s why family, particularly siblings are so precious to me. Who else besides siblings do I have more shared history with?

Ursula is an actress, and passionate theater fanatic. Last night my dream to see her on stage finally came true. It was incredible. The text was written by the director, and I´m in the middle of studying it. I´ll get to see the show many times, so I´m hoping to really understand it by the time I leave. This weekend I´m going to the country, so I think I´ll have plenty of time to study it their.

After the show we went to one of the actors apartment. He lives in the center of Santiago. We had drinks and chatted on the top of a 24 story building. I regret not having my camera. The view and the lights were phenomenal. I had so many wonderful people to share it with too. Could life get any richer?
