My First Fiesta

I didn't post anything last night because I was at Fran's goodbye party having the time of my life. We danced and danced and danced and it was so much fun! I thought I didn't like dancing, but in Chile it is really fun because people don't just jump up and down and stuff. At the party, there was always a crowd of people around me asking me questions about the US and myself. Last night, I discovered how difficult it can be to be a center of attention while having no idea what is going on. I didn't go to sleep until 3:30am and I slept until 10:30am this morning. 

Today we drove to Doñihue to visit Fran's moms side of the family. They were so welcoming and I already feel like part of the family. It never occurred to me until today that I am not only a host daughter and sister, but also a host granddaughter, niece, and cousin. I already love this family so much! Tomorrow we are going to meet up with my host dads side of the family as a "welcome Sally/ goodbye Fran" kind of thing. I am so tired and I know this post is kind of lame but I wanted to at least give you all a little update. 

 While in Doñihue, my family took me out to the countryside to show me how pretty the hills were. It was very beautiful! 

When we returned we decided to take some family pictures, and this one is my favorite. :)
