Its Friday evening and I´ve finshed my week´s spanish classes. I can´t speak spansih but I know a few more words than i did a week ago. The last two days i´ve shared the class with a young Australian called Paul, which made it more interesting. Also at the home stay a young ´German has come to stay who speaks quite good English.
During the afternoon I´ve been to a various sites around Santiago. Besides the city centre cahtedral, view points etc I ´ve been to a vine yard and the palace of a very wealthy Chilean family who were once the 10th wealthiest family in the world due to silver , coal and gold mines.
I´ve also been to a jazz concert and I´ve managed one pub for a couple of pints. Its still cold but I´ve acclimatised somewhat.
Tomorrow I travel north by bus for 6-7 hours, to La Serena, in the hope of slightly warmer weather and more English conversation.
