i have a chilean family!!! i just received an email from my family in chile! i'm so excited that i have to write in spanish (but am happy to translate.) i dont have much time now, because i have to go to sleep because i have my visa appointment in the morning, but i want to record the intense enthusiasm i'm feeling right now. this is the first time this experience has been real for mi. it's no longer only papers and essays and travel plans, but it's a real family! there is a mother, clara, a father, patricio, a 21-year-old son, camilo, and a 15-year-old daughter, bernadita. they also have a maid that they call "nana." (from what i've heard, everyone has a maid in south america, more or less.) ok, i have to sleep, but i'll write more tomorrow. joy!
