Thankful

It's officially Turkey Day by Chile time. I thought I'd list out things I am thankful for:

1. My family and friends waiting for me in the States. I love you all a ton.
2. That I have been able to have this abroad experience
3. That I have 2 stress free weeks left to enjoy Chile
4. That I still have one awesome trip in front of me (Easter Island)
5. How amazing my host family is
6. How close our group of 8 gringos has become on this trip
7. My host mom's cooking (she uses far less salt and mayonaise than the average Chilean)
8. That my Spanish has been able to improve so much
9. That I've gained a better understanding of what it is to be an outsider and unable to fully express yourself in another language
10. That at the end of these 2 weeks I will be surrounded by loved ones

That's all for now.
I'm off to bed.
Happy Turkey Day to those of you in the States!
Bueno Bye!
