Yesterday I found out where in Chile I will be going. The town is called Santa Maria and I haven't been able to locate it on a map yet! However, I do know that it is near a city in the Valparaiso region called San Felipe, which is north of Santiago at the base of the Andes! Try Google Mapping San Felipe. Some people have uploaded pictures of the town and the surrounding areas as well. Still no word about my host family.
According to my contact in the program, there will be four other people from the United States going to the Santa Maria. He said that some schools participating in the program do not have internet access or even a phone but told me not to worry. I'm not worried. Don't you be, either!
I cannot make promises about blogging with any frequency. I'm not sure yet whether I will be able to have internet access in Santa Maria or if I will have to go to San Felipe. I will try to keep you updated, of course.
