Happy December!

It’s time for an update on the latest adventure. Who’s ready? Well, if you’re still reading I’m going to assume you are, so here we go!
I leave in about a week and a half and now have in my possession a lovely new residential visa in my passport (to keep that lonely Mexico City entry stamp company) and feel all ready to go. In 11 (12, sort of) days I will be in Santiago and this is finally going to be real.
Anyway, enough of that. Time for some real, tangible details. I recently learned a little bit about the family I will be staying with. It is a household of three consisting of a banker, his wife and their 25-year-old daughter who is attending university for food engineering. They live in La Reina (a neighborhood in Santiago) which, to be honest with you, I know absolutely nothing about (but Google Maps says there might be a pool in my backyard!).
In the meantime I am just sort of enjoying family time in the Mucc and trying to make a list of all the people I need to see in Reno once I’m back there (anyone know anything fun happening for NYE?).
Well, that’s about all I’ve got for now. Merry Christmas, Happy belated Hanukkah, Happy December/Winter Solstice/Secular-day-of-I’m-sick-of-feeling-left-out-celebration or whatever else you might be preparing to do around this time.
¡Chao!
