So this week I went to Talca to visit Franco on Friday. He graduated from high school and he wanted me to be there! The ceremony was lovely and outdoors and not too lengthy. To get to Talca I skipped school on Friday to catch a bus. It was my first time taking some sort of public transportation alone and I felt so small! It's strange how I can drive by myself and feel fine but being on a bus is just so different! When I got to Franco's house Emilio, Franco's big brother, was waiting for me just like he said he would be and everything went along so smoothly! During he graduation ceremony I met a boy from Germany who is living in Chile and working as a volunteer to help people in some way (I really don't remember but it is very noble and cool.) We talked a lot and I really liked hanging out with him except I was a LITTLE jealous of him because he never had any Spanish classes and speaks wayyyy better than my already. His Spanish is perfect, and apparently so is his English, German, and French! After the graduation the whole family went to a barbecue and ate delicious Chilean meat and talked until like 3:00am. The next morning Alan, Franco, and Franco's cousin took me out to see the city of Talca. We had all these plans of places to go but we ended up just sitting in a plaza and talking and making plans for me to visit Talca some other time for a longer stay. Later we had a huge lunch at Franco's house for his graduation and I met all his grandparents. His grandparents kept thanking me for what I did at Franco's accident and I felt kind of awkward because I didn't really do that much, but I just smiled and told them he is a great friend and that I am so glad things worked out and that he is healthy and okay. After lunch Emilio dropped me off at the bus stop and I took the bus home to Rancagua where my parents were waiting for me. They told me they had missed me and that they will miss me even more while I'm in the South! They are so cute. We rushed home and I unpacked my bags from Talca and made sure I had everything ready for the South. I then took a quick shower, had tea with my parents, and talked to my dad and Molly for one last time at the age of 16! In about 10 minutes I will get on a bus and my trip will start! I am so excited to spend my birthday with other exchangers and penguins and just everything is so perfect! I know that this blog post kind of sucks and I am not even sure if it makes sense but I am in a hurry and I am just so darn happy that I don't care. I love you all and I hope you have a great Sally's Birthday like I am planning to. :D
