I can't believe this.

You will never guess what I did Thursday night. Never in my life would I have thought I'd do something like this. I went... I went....... to a 50 Cent concert. No, not a concert that cost 50 cents. Like, it was a concert featuring the rapper 50 Cent.
























Yes, seeing those abs in person was totally worth the $23 I spent on the ticket. A friend of mine asked me if he rapped in Spanish. Heh, like I could tell. 50 (Fiddy?) needs to enunciate. However, one of the things I did understand was when he yelled, "Alright, Chile... how many of you smoke WEEEEEEDDDD?!?!?" It was weird because first the arena smelled like cigarette smoke, and then marijuana, but then it smelled like a campfire for a while. But after 50 asked about the whole weed thing, the lovely aroma of pot became much more prominent. Yahoo.


















This before the concert. Get it? "50"?


Last night my friend Catherine had a fiesta de Halloween at her apartment. It was actually planned by her land lady, who instructed all of us to bring common dishes from our respective countries of origin for dinner. It was like an international Thanksgiving! There was food from France, Colombia, the Caribbean, Pakistan, and of course, Chile and the US. I brought Pringles. Original and Barbeque.

Can you guess what I was for Halloween?























I was a stoplight (un semáforo)! Patty could not stop laughing when I showed her.


These next 3 weeks are filled with presentations, papers, and exams, but I'll try to keep you updated with my goings-on. I don't know if that's a word or not but it sounded right in my head... hmm. Oh, and I'm going white-water rafting tomorrow at Cajon de Maipo, so hopefully I'll be able to put up pictures of that soon! Hope you all had a happy halloween!!

Besos y abrazos!


P.S. Here's a little reminder!!

Dad says nothing says Halloween or Thanksgiving like a can of Pringles. Great choice for an American dish! Please be careful rafting. Buckle your life vest tight and hang on!

Love,
Mom and Dad

Pringles?!....Makes you proud to be an American!

Very clever Halloween costume. Did you go Trick or Treating? Do they have Halloween there? Do they hand out Pringles?

We miss you!!
