sorry my blog has been lacking in the photo department lately....

but I'm not really having any picture-worthy adventures. I've been doing boring things like going to class, doing homework, and applying for a Chilean ID card. Life is starting to settle into a routine here, and this is starting to feel more and more like my home (weird).

This weekend, my group is taking a trip to San Pedro de Atacama, a desert in northern Chile. (I know, I know -- being in the southern hemisphere really plays with your mind, but I promise it really does get hotter and drier when I go north). So expect some epic documentation of that. In the meantime, I can offer you another picture of the beautiful sunset in Viña to tide you over.

P.S. Notice the pololos -- the word they use in Chile for boyfriend and girlfriend -- on the beach. You can't go anywhere in Chile without running into half a dozen couples on romantic dates. They loooove their serious relationships here.
