final adventure

Turned in that darn paper yesterday!! And I think it went ok :)

Over the course of the next week, our Spanish professors will edit our papers and send them back to us for final revisions. So we have six days and really very little do... hmmmm. This is our chance!

Suggestion number one: My family invited me to go to Arica (the desert up north) for their half brother's baptism. That could be interesting to check out a new area but they told me they hate it up there and do I really want to pay for a plane ticket to a baptism? Not really. Shhh- I'm a bad host sister.

Suggestion number two: Five hour bus ride to La Serena to a cute little town a ways south of here. Activities ranging from a pisco distillery to an observatory with some of the best star gazing in the world. Now that sounds fun!

But then came along suggestion number three: Maybe we should check out Easter Island? Um... heck yes!! Easter Island is an island about 2,300 miles east of Chile. I don't have the exact history down but I was told that there used to be these two rival tribes. They tried to prove who was better by building these huge statues (called Moai) but in order to move all these statues around, they had to cut down a bunch of trees. Turns out they ended up deforesting the whole island, ruining all of their natural resources and killing each other and resorting to cannibalism.

Easter Island is now a tourist destination where people go to check out these crazy sculptures and enjoy some of the clearest waters in the world. Hello, scuba diving. It was also ranked the 10th most isolated area on earth and its airport was ranked the most remote airport in the world. And that is where I will be spending the next three and a half days.  Wahoo! (And then I come home six days after that. Holy cow!)

    We all love the idea of throwing home parties and there is no reason needed to do it. Gathering of families and friends leave a response on the host for warm hospitality and foods. Deciding on food is one most difficult task to make your party hit. Foods and servings that taste good and calm the hunger is what everyone needs, but another concern is, will everyone like it?
