This past week I got to begin the beautiful year 2014 with my amazing Chilean friends and family! The Chilean New Years tradition is to eat a big feast with your family and then stay up together until the clock strikes midnight. At midnight, every single person in the family hugs every other single person no matter how many people there are! I hugged all my Chilean family tight and wished them all happy New Years and it really felt like I was with family! After this takes place, the young people are all given permission to go spend the rest of New Years with their friends, so that's what I did! I went to my friend Carolina's house with a bunch of other friends and we celebrated the beggining of my last year living in Chile.
Later in the week, my friends Evan and Nikita came over to my house to make Indian food. Nikita is like some sort of master Indian chef so Evan and I were super excited. We made her nachos to give back, but they were nothing next to the butter chicken she made! I still have leftovers in my fridge and my family is enjoying them hahaha.
Since it's summer, it's hard for me to remember the days of the week so it's harder to write detailed blog posts. Either way, I am having a fantastic summer and 2014 is already awesome!
