First llloooonnnnggg day in Chile

I am now spending my second day in the beautiful city of Santiago. Yesterday was a very long, somewhat action packed day. It has been very weird going from winter in Chicago where the sunsets around 4:30 to summer in Santiago where the sun doesn´t set until almost 9:00. That was really playing with my mind yesterday.

I met a lot of new people yesterday (most of the stint team from Campus Crusades here in Santiago). I also went to a Jazz festizal in the park down the street from where I am stayin these first few nights.

We leave for Argentina for the Jesus Film Trip tomorrow, so I probably won´t post for two more weeks.

Safe and Sound in Santiago

I arrived in Santiago today and was picked up by Kurt Adams, Kurt and his wife Melissa are on staff with Campus Crusades in Chile, they are both from Colorado and have a one year old son. Kurt was able to take me to the international police station to register my Visa, so now I should be official and ready to go on the Campus Crusade retreat to Argentina and the Jesus Film Trip. I don't have any pictures yet, my exit row window seat was not very condusive to picture taking although I did have a beautiful view of the Andes standing tall through the clouds as the sun rose and our plane descended to Santiago. I am excited to be hear, and very thankful to be with some English speakers for the time being as my Spanish is a little rusty.

That's all for now,
Hunter
