Chile Plans

At the completion of this academic year I was planning to travel to Santiago, Chile for a few weeks. The trip was to be both an opportunity to study Spanish as well as an opportunity to see more of the country and get to know the people of Chile. Part of the plan was contingent upon a friend of mine living there this Spring. I recently got word from him that he and his family might stay in Australia for the entire year rather than travel to Chile for the Spring and Summer.

I'd been thinking that right after classes ended this Spring I could head to Santiago and stay for a few weeks while he and his family were still there. I visited Chile back a few years ago and absolutely love the people and really enjoyed my time there. I'm not sure where my friends will end up but if they stay in Australia I might try to change my plans and head to Brisbane for a few weeks at the beginning of the summer instead. Part of my reason for wanting to go to Santiago was so that I could take a few weeks of intensive Spanish language classes and get going on learning that language. So, if I end up in Australia that goal will be delayed a bit longer. I still plan to take a year off here pretty soon to travel and do some language study though.
