Went to the Trancura Canopy last Friday, was very cool. We did it at sunset so when I was flying 40 meters above the Earth looking over the hills to the Volcano it was muy linda. I went with some of my profesoras and Dermot. They got a kick out of it and it was even funnier watching them scream and cry for help when they got stuck or didn't want to go. It was also funny hitchhiking back to town with 8 women shoved into the back of a van. Friday night went out with Dermot went to our usual spot on the lake to drink and be cold then fuí Las Mamas y Tapas para carrete. Estuve muy barracho.
On Saturday after another delicious meal by Genaro we went to the National Parque Huerquehue for a good hike with some other volunteers and saw a pretty spectacular waterfall. I felt good in the woods surrounded by trees and the smell of nature. Right after, well not right after, I got lost for a little but some nice guy who we picked up told us where to go, cause Genaro let me use his car, we went to Las Termas Pozones at night. Was a trip looking up at the stars, and we saw like 5 shooting stars or satellites or UFO´s couldn´t tell what they were, spooky, but they were moving fast. Then we hung out at another Chilean friends house that night but I was tired so no barracho.
Last week I began intensive Spanish lessons with Genaro. One hour a day 5 days a week. Sometimes my head wants to explode but I think I am getting better. I read aloud, write down the words I don´t then Genaro explains them in Spanish. No English is spoken. I look up again the words I don´t know to make sure I understand. Then the next day I review what I read the last time and have to explain it in Spanish. Like I said sometimes my head feels like its going to pop. And after a long day in the school, then teaching a bunch of profesoras English it crazy. I am beginning to dream in Spanish though which is cool, ha more like nightmares.
Genaro is going to take some of my friends and I to these cool hot springs near Latauro this weekend and we are going to stay in his old bosses house. Should be sweet.
Hope all is well in Gringolandía,
