7 days ... count them …1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ... until we leave.

Natalie & Corinne:

When we first arrived I was kind of counting the days until we would be returning home but now I wish we were staying here for another 4 weeks! (sorry, mom). It’s been such a wonderful experience and one that I will always remember. It’s going to be so hard to say goodbye to the people who opened up their homes to us and treated us like we were a part of the family.

Enough of the depressing thoughts of leaving ... probably one of the major things that we (by "we" I mean Corinne and Natalie) are going to miss is the friends we´ve made, especially some boys! The main reason why is because they are easier to talk to, they´re friendlier. When we walk into a room to attend class, it’s not the girls to say ¨hola¨ first, its the boys. (Only some of the girls that we have met have been totally open to getting to know us better.) They take interest in knowing about aspects in our lives. We laugh more, have more fun, and enjoy ourselves more ... also, they make us feel like royalty, telling us that we are beautiful. Here, we feel special, and in the U.S., we know that we wont get this attention.

Having the time of our lives, in Chile!!!

Ciao, Natalie and Corrine
