a day and night with javier

Today was one of the longest days of my life...but it also ended up as one of the craziest and most fun that I have had with everybody here on the Chile trip. We all spent the day together in lecture that lasted quite a long time but it also was very informative. We all (including Javier) were waiting for a break so we could stretch our legs and eventually get back to the lecture (our first of many). This day was very exhausting but we were all looking forward to the tour and eventually the night out with the Chilean students and the locals that were very nice. We all fell asleep on the bus during the tour of Valpairiso. We did though pay a lot of attention whenever we were outside of the bus, especially our long walk up the stairs, which seemed like a marathon to us, and even the chilean students. The city of Valapariso was extraoridnary. The mix of different architeture that were right next to another was very different from the United States. The city had a lot to offer all of us, we even met a guy that was running for 35 days straight and even took a picture with him, he was from Australia. In total, it was a very interesting day to say the least, even though we were hit by a car during our tour. YOCO (You Only Chile Once).
