Week One- CLH

Our first Wednesday we went on a tour of Santiago and saw many beautiful sights. My favorite place was a Cathedral downtown. Here are a few pictures of the inside. While we have many beautiful churches in Louisiana, this one was breathtaking.





This week in my 1st grade classes, we are learning about action verbs and when to add a -s to them. The students were able to come up with their own subject and verb. Here is one sentence I got a laugh out of. They preceded to chant Donald Trump, after it was written on the board. The little reminders of the states!

Week one- Morgan Denyes

Sunday:  If there is one thing that you need to know about Chileans, it is that they show their affection through food. In other words, no matter how stuffed you are, they will fill your plate back up. For example, in the past hour I have been asked if I was hungry by everyone in the house and every time my answer has been no. At first I felt like I was offending them, but the oldest son told me that they just want to make sure that I do not starve. I responded with "trust me, I will ask for food when I am hungry, its just that I don't eat a lot".  Today we went to a Chinese restaurant and it was AMAZING! I know what you may be thinking ...

Week Two- CLH

Since my Host Mom, Lia, works for a wine company, she offered to take me on the wine tour of Concha Y Toro. We first went to a wine tasting with a sommelier, who explained to us about the color, smell, and taste of each wine we experienced. We also got to pair the wines with cheese. Here is a picture of the layout. After the tasting we then toured the property of Concha Y Toro. Even though it is fall here and we didn't get to see the grapes, it was still very interesting to see. In the "Devil's Cellar" they locked us in and played a movie of how the brand got it's name. The tour ended with more wine tasting and a trip to the wine shop. Perfect Saturday afternoon!       -Caroline Hulin
