An Unexpected Viaje

   As my time here is running out, I have been afraid I would not be able to find something to do this year that would really pop out to me. If someone were to ask me, "Katie, what was your favorite part of the exchange?" I would not know how to answer. So far this year, I haven't really done anything or gone anywhere here that makes me excited to tell everyone about. I thought the the next six weeks would pass by slowly and I would continue in school and see friends on the weekend. Then something I did not expect happened to me. Last Sunday my tia invited me over to her house to have once and bake cookies (Chocolate Chip) with the family. When I arrived, I was plesantly surprised to find several cousins and other relatives sitting around a table. I spent the afternoon talking with the family and having so much fun in the kitchen making cookies with my cousin and her friend. As the night wound down and most of the family went home, I sat down with my aunt's cuñada .We started talking about how I have hardly gone anywhere in Chile, and that I was about to go home in a month and a half. She quickly invited me to come stay with her in Coyhaique until the end of the month, and the only thing I had to pay for would be the plane ticket. I talked about it with my host family, and we started working on it right away. They are almost as excited as I am!
