more toasted heads please

so, i dont even like red wine. or, i didnt. (i also didnt like avocado or sausage or cilantro, but thats not as interesting a story). but, being in chile, i feel its appropriate to sample the products and support the local economy. namely, the fine bottles (ok, so i buy the cheap ones, but hey, im on a fixed budget) of red wine (or white) created in my own backyard, or thereabouts. we recently went on a trip to viña concha y toro, the largest wine exporting vineyard in chile. beautiful, delicious. what else has happened in the past week? the first outing for my montañismo class. pretty fun, its a class about climbing mountians. in chile. awesome. also went up cerro san cristobol with my friend ricardo. beautiful views of santiago and rode in a cable car between a few mountians. what else? i actually participated in class this week. it was one of my proudest moments. knowing enough of what was going on to actually have the nerve to say something was really cool, especially because the prof understood me (kindof). yay for making progress. not a whole lot else is going on. leaving wednesday for buenos aires. loving me some carrie g. all not goign to daily elections and such. missing pizza and chocolate chip cookies. rockin out in chile.
