So I was at the church building on Sunday after our afternoon activity we have with the jóvenes and I call Jeff and he advises me to be careful as I go home as some people may get a bit wild at the news of Augusto Pinochet’s death.

 All afternoon people honked their horns as they drove down the streets. The communist youth, whom probably did not even live a day under Pinochet’s regime, gathered in Plaza Italia to celebrate. And, in typical Chilean-communist-youth-style, riots broke out and fires were set.

 Jeff, Mark, and I spent the evening eating sushi and fellowshipping with each other. The next day, Monday, there were people on the news still. Yet no clashes of supporters and defectors. No attacks on the government buildings. No, Chile keeps moving on.

 Amanda, John, Ryan, and I took a small intern vacation to the coast before Ryan and I go back to the USA. It was a grand time. John and I were the only one’s brave to enter the frigid waters on the overcast day in Zapallar. In all it was quite fun and we finished it off yesterday in Viña del Mar with a fajita dinner.

 I hope all is well where ever you are reading this. Cheers.
