Our last excursion of my Spanish for Foreigners class was to the small town of Pomaire. The pueblo is unique because almost everyone that lives there sustains themselves by making and selling clay pottery. If I lived in Chile I could see myself coming home with everything that I saw and liked (which was a lot), because it was all very cheap. Unfortunately a lot of the especially pretty pottery was also large and heavy. As it is I bought more than I should of, even though I was trying to restrain myself. I have no idea of how I am going to get what I bought home. I might need to use my engineering skills to figure this one out.
Besides my excursion on Saturday, my week was pretty quiet. During the week I read class material and worked on my environmental engineering homework assignment (these assignments are more like miniature projects because we need to look for other resources besides the material from class in order to answer the questions.) This weekend, I did not go out Friday night, because I had the excursion early Saturday mornings. I also did not go out Saturday night, because I had plans to go off-roading in the mountains with some Chileans that we(my group of 4 friends from the US) know early Sunday morning. Unfortunately, our off-roading plans were canceled the next morning due to one of the trucks breaking down, so I studied for my Environmental Engineering exam that I have next Thursday instead, bummer. Oh I almost forgot, I also made chocolate chip cookies for my family and friends with Heather, Sunday. We had an attentive audience the whole time. Our first trays of cookies came out very pitiful looking (which gave everyone a good laugh.) However, by the third tray we had the oven figured out and the cookies were coming out almost just like at home. Also just like home the entire batch of cookies was gone by the next day (and no I was not the one that ate them all, I didnīt get the chance because my family was faster than me.) |
