Friday; Family Adventures!
It's finally Friday, and that means the weekend is here! I've been told here it is called Sun Friday, and I love that. My chilean sibilings are extra excited for the three day weekend because it means we travel to the mountains for BBQ, hot springs, and hiking! First we made a stop in San Pedro to play a little volleyball. Instantly walking into the gym my family made introductions and left me to make friends with the girls. I was welcomed right away in true Chilean fashion. The people here are so warm and friendly! We started a pick up game of volleyball halted only for one short water break. I looked to my Chilean family for support and saw them snapping pictures and smiling to encourage me. It was great being able to share my passion with them.

My host family with my volleyball family!
I left with my family in a scurry of excitement! They were so happy to spend dinner talking to me about what they thought about volleyball. It opened up a conversation to talk about their favorite sport (soccer of course haha!) I love that my passion can help build connections with my Chilean family.
