Hi family and friends,
The weather today was and is still beautiful. It's 7:30pm and the sun is about half an hour from setting. Sunsets here are amazing. From orange to pink and purple, and reflected by the Pacific Ocean. That is even more beautiful. Countless waves, shimmering and reflecting the light of each other wave and ripple of water... its like a sheet of diamonds.
Tomorrow we are going to have almuerzo (lunch) with Eli Uncle and Aunt, Lalo and Nana. They live in a town called Via Alemana, about half an hour away by train. It is a really nice train ride through the hills with a couple of valley crossing bridges.
Eliana and I have had a lot of free time on our hands, which we have used to explore Vina, Valpo and the surrounding area. Now that I am in Spanish classes... I have the same amount of free time, I just have to get up earlier : ) . I have also been using my time reinvigorate my meditation practice and study of Buddhism. It has been a great experience and helped me to remember why I made the choice to take my Refuge Vows.
Now for some shout outs!
Congrats to Marissa and Tyler on their marriage!
Congrats to my little brother, Gareth, and his girlfriend, Damara, on their purchase of a new home together!
Congrats to Richard on your new program and and new found passion! (and having a wicked wife!)
Well friends and family, I am thinking of you lots and cant wait to see you all.
Love,
Greg

ReplyDeleteWe love you guys so much and am glad you are enjoying their wonderful spring and summer. Here I am going snowboarding today. C.O.P is the first hill in Canada to open and the second in North America, I am very excited.
Enjoy the beautiful sunsets together and if you are up early enough, take in the beauty of the sunrise. I will be taking in the wonder of the snow on the hill.
Much love to you my dear friends.
Marissa
Marissa, Haha... sunrises would be beautiful if being in Chile didn't make me so lazy. It's like some kind of reverse-o world where Greg--GREG-- gets up before me! Hope you enjoyed skiing!
