El Dia de Los Ninos

So today was a holiday for kids although as far as I could see and from what my family told me, it's mostly celebrated by taking kids to play in the park, go to carnivals, or the movies and making sure they have get a face paint or a mask and can dress up as what ever they want. And of course they get gifts, their favorite part.

Speaking of regalos, at once tonight, I got one too. Apparently being twenty still qualifies me for gifts. But it was perfect. Slippers for my freezing feet that hate wearing shoes all the time and a HUGE chocolate bar. It was beautiful. I love anyone who gives me chocolate, especially since most of the candy here is sugar-y and fruity or marshmellow stuffed. A real chocolate bar was exactly what I needed. I guess even with the language barrier my family knows me better than I think they do.

More later, I have to book a hostel and do homework (who would have thought?) before I can update you more. And in case I don't get a hold of you later, Happy Anniversary mis padres! I think you'll also be amused to know, I was told four kids is a lot in one family. I guess Chile isn't that different from home. Lots of love!
