Wednesday and Thursday - Went to class, hung out a didn't do too much. My classes will probably be pretty boring, but it's ok, I only have class three days a week ;). One night we played Dutch Blitz in a restaurant, and we definitely created a ruckus. I can't remember what else I did, so yeah, pretty standard.
Friday - I went with some friends to a beach to the south called Laguna Verde. It was a lot of fun, but a long way away. I probably spend at least two or more hours each day commuting in the micros, so that's something that I need to get used to. I got sunburned on the tops of my feet, but the day in general was very relaxing.
Saturday - Today in the morning I went to the dunes again in Reñaca and the great overlook of Viña and Valparaíso. I then came back to my house, and met up with my host brother to go to a soccer game. The Valparaíso team, the Wanderers, were playing against the team my host brother is a fan of, so I thought it´d be fun to go. The three big teams in Chile are Colo-colo, La Católica, and La U. The Wanderers were playing against La Católica today, and it only costs eight dollars for a ticket. I´m officially a Wanderers fan, but unfortunately they lost today 2-4. It was a blast to see the whole stadium filled with green Wanderers fans, and the hard-core fan section sang fight songs the entire game. I´m not kidding, they only took a break for half-time. After that, I went to play soccer myself a little bit with my host brother´s friends, and now here I am, going to bed early (1:00).
The name of the Wanderers´ ¨barro¨ is Panzers (a barro is like a hard-core soccer fan gang). Here they are:
