It's day two of my trip to Santiago, Chile. I had such a great day yesterday and i'm hoping the rest of my visit will be just as good. Most kids in other countries would be going to school today but in Santiago, Chile they are on what we call summer vacation. Schools here start in Early March and end right before Christmas. But even though they're on break the girl i'm staying with, Marie is going to school to recvice her Licencia de Educación Media in the Techincal trade so is planning to go to a university and to get in you must pass the enterence test called Prueba de Selección Universitaria. Maries little brother just turned six and is just now starting school. You start going to schools here at six and are done school at the age of fourteen.
After we had a great meal today we're heading over to the Estadio Nacional de Chile to watch Futbol. Or what we call Soccer. Futbol is the national sport and there are not many other sports in Chile so it's hard to find something everyone likes. But there are other activites to keep in shape, like skiing, swimming, etc. We watched the Federación de Fútbol de Chile which have went to five world cups. They were very good and I enjoyed watching! It was a great experience.
