My shower was interrupted by a phone call from Christopher. He sounded really good, and is with his host family in Copiapó. He says they landed in Santiago, and were rushed off to a campground full of sunburned Germans for an AFS in-country orientation.
He did report that being in Chile made him feel very tall. His bus ride to Copiapó was very long, but he enjoyed the a TV at his seat with a Spanish-dubbed version of The Simpson’s.
It is summer vacation there, so he’ll be off camping on the beach with his host family for the next week or so. School will start in early March.
Here at the Goolsbee house, we’re all relaxed and happy.
