Getting used to vina

Today was my second day in Vina and its the first day ive kinda felt comfortable here. After waking up at noon and going to the supermarket with my brother, I came back to find the whole family preparing for the afternoon barbeque with the extended family. There were four generations of the family here, from the ninety four year old great-grandmother to the three year old great grandson. It was really cool to see the entire family and even though I couldnt understand the oldest and the youngest that well it was a really cool experience. We talked a lot about the history of the united states and I showed my great grandparents the book of boston that I brought. They loved it and it was a great experience explaining everything to them. I guess the british style architecture is very similar to the architecture in Vina and Valpo. My grandfather loved the old pictures with all the guys wearing suits and straw hats. Also today was el dia de los ninos. I think it should be a holiday everywhere in the world, but it was a great day. Dia de los ninos is basically mothers day and fathers day expect for the kids. The youngest kids got presents from all their grandparents, great grandparents, aunts and uncles. The youngest boy is currently obsessed with toy story three and he got a ton of toy story stuff including a buzz lightyear suit. It was so funny. Another thing I learned today is that my mom is a spectacular singer and guitar player and she always runs around the house singing whatever is on her mind. We had a nice concert of sound of music tunes and foclore (traditional chilean music) Tonight we are going to barbeque numero dos for the day with all the families of the study abroad students. Me gusta mucho las relaciones de la familia aqui en Chile. Hasta proximo!
