the last time that i wrote, we were in chile ... now we are about 60 hours away in Montevideo, Uruguay!!! I am going to try and write through the past few weeks as I remember!
Santiago: if you want to go here, see if you like NYC first and then learn spanish and come! this city seems so NYC to me because it was cold and the people were a bit NYC acting. a bit busy a bit unfriendly and a bit expensive, but it was a great learning experience. we only spent the weekend here because the pass to mendoza, argentina was blocked because of snow. we stayed in this amazing hostal (that had many rules :( ). it was in a colonial red house called la casa roja (the red house). there were about a 100 travelers passing through there. this place had a pool and bar in the hostal, so it was pretty fun! we went running everyday in santiago, which was great to explore this overcast city. as a side note, we met some awesome chilenos from the south of chile in argentina and they were super friendly! the currency was really crazy because it was 540 chilean pesos to the dollar! so if something was 5400 pesos, it was about $10. it was really weird doing these conversions in our heads, so we spent more :(
im going to finish this later because the space bar isnt working well, so it´s a PITA!
