another wonderful weekend

this weekend we're going to La Serena, a coastal town a few hours north of Santiago. It's our Bing trip, so everything will be very classy and paid for by extraordinary philanthropists Helen and Peter Bing. We're having a number of different excursions throughout the city and a free day on Sunday. I'm feeling better every day so I can't wait for a fun, crazy weekend!

Last night we had a university colloquium at this cool half-underground bookstore in the middle of a park. We got to meet and talk to students from the Universidad de Chile which was a lot of fun. Hopefully we can meet up with some of them later on so that they can show us around the city.

Other than that, life is pretty normal... today I'm going to go shopping and try to find some healthier, more familiar foods. Eating at cheap fast food places around the center is not going to work out. I miss whole wheat bread and spinach!!
