Even though I’m nearly 10 months into my grand adventure, there are still so many new things and firsts that I’m still experiencing on a regular basis. Yesterday I had two of said firsts.
My first first (hehe) was volunteering at a local homeless shelter. It was a wonderful experience and something that I’d very much missed from my Houston life. I hope to go back more often. Seriously (for Houston-CSM people who may be reading) it was Open Door Mission: Santiago Style. It was so wonderfully familiar!
My second first was attending a SuperBowl party. Of course I’ve attended plenty of those in the past, although admittedly only for snacks, friends and funny commercials, but this was my first gathering in Chile to watch futbol americano. They actually DO broadcast the game on a sports network here (all the commentary in Spanish, which was kind of funny) so the scene was nearly the same with friends and plenty of bean dip. The commercials, though, were unfortunately just regular old Chilean commercials.
Hmph. Too bad.
I still had a nice time, though, and by the end I actually knew which two teams were competing. Progress!
so your telling me crucker has a twin?? should i invite him to join me on the journey this summer?
