Puerto Montt

Last Thursday 15 exchange students from the south of Chile gathered for a reunion in Puerto Montt. We stayed in a Hostel like building. It was a church actually and I am still struggling to find a name for it in English. We all stayed until Sunday. The weekend consisted of eating lots of really good food, lots of chocolate, going to the newspaper editor, seeing the ocean, going to the oldest building in the city which was a church, going to the fish market and artisan market, and lots of laughing. My favorite part of the trip was being with the other exchange students. It is much different than being with students at home in Montana or in Coyhaique. For one thing, we all have the same struggles and we all understand the difficulties. And secondly exchange students are just a different breed of kids altogether. haha I say this because they have strength, independence,and intelligence like no teens i have ever meet before. And they are all a little "Loco".
