Safe in Santiago

After a delayed flight (6 for 6!), I arrived in Santiago Thursday afternoon without a hitch. Caught the bus into town, found some directions to my dorm and was able to check in a day early. The room is quite nice, with lots of light from a skylight sort of thing that I can swing open to let in air. The photo is a view from my room if I stick my head out. That cathedral is one of the most beautiful I've seen. La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona is still my favorite though.

For those who may not know, I am here in Spain for a summer school class through UNC, in collaboration with the University here and one in Chile. We're doing multimedia storytelling, and I'm on the photography team (though I hope to participate some with the multimedia team). When it's over at the end of this month we'll have produced a site much like the one from last year (chiloestories.org). The rest of the group (including students from Chile) does not arrive until Friday afternoon, so I've just been exploring the city and catching up on fun stuff, like posting photos from Ireland! (there's a link on the side, or you can view the photos here .)
