Its day 4 of our excursion and there’s always more to
report! Today was a bit more of an easy day, much less physically exhausting so
that recovering from the all the walking yesterday! We went back to the university
in Valparaiso for a full day of lecture. Senor Jose Luis delivered an intriguing
lecture today about all the aspects of Chilean culture we should know while
studying here. The topics ranged from the effects the extreme geography has on
the culture to the types of art and dance in Chile. It was all very interesting
to compare the culture of the United States to the culture of Chile. And being
completely honest, its make me love the people of Chile even more! Some of the folk
dances were so interesting to watch, they looked incredibly fun. Today was
incredibly informative on how to examine other cultures and catch the
differences. Aside from the lectures, the university has such a beautiful
campus! I die a bit inside of jealousy every time I round through a courtyard
and catch an eyeful of the azure mirror called the Pacific Ocean just beyond
the boundary. But one thing never changes campus to campus and that’s cafeteria
food… bleh! :P Its fine though, the beauty of the campus just makes everything
okay. Tonight we are meeting the Chilean students tonight to have some more
fun! Thankfully we are able to sleep in a bit later we should have plenty of
time for fun! Wish me “Buenos suerte”! Gracias!
