Tuesday/Wednesday

Hola! I don't remember where I left off, but anyway, on Monday it was really rainy and so it was even colder than usual because the sun never came out. The sun is really strong here, so its really cold at night and warms up a lot in the day time. Today it probably got up to mid-60s, and I got a little sunburned when I went for a walk!!! But anyway, Monday we did not do much touring, just school things- a welcome from the head of the university to all the foreign students, tour of the PiiE (Programa internacional/intercambio Estudiantes or something) office, and our written placement test. We also saw the national congress building. On Tuesday we had a walking tour of Viña del Mar.

This picture is from a beach in Viña, looking towards Valpo. So pretty!
The main building of la Universidad Catolica. There are about 4 university buildings and the ISA office in this general area, and the rest of the university buildings are spread all over the 2 cities. A bit annoying.

Yesterday (Wednesday) we toured some of the more spread out buildings. This is one of the art buildings- my contemporary art class will be here. Its in Viña.
The history building, a few streets over from the art building. Pretty cool place, si?

Then over on the other side of Valpo are the music building and the marine sciences buildings. This picture is on the way to the music building. It was gorgeous. You could see all over the place, and all the houses were painted bright colors or various pastels.
