crappy day in Santiago?

i think not. well the weather is pretty typical aka rain but my spanish woah hold your hats on there lady and gents cuz i don't wanna blow em or nothing (ok that was really cheesy y lame haha) but today's weather resembles the transformacion de mi español muy bien. this morning it was wet, cloudy, and really windy outside. When I had to leave around 430 I walked outta the house and there was a little bit of sun but still cold and 3 steps in it poured for literally 8 seconds and cleared up again and it was actually warm out. qué extraño! Upon my return home after un reunión, sunny, warm, and beautiful day in Santiago. this is a typical day in Santiago. the weather had its times but it eventually got significantly better. I'd say this is about a typical day and weather pattern in Santiago. What a day I'm tellin ya. así es la vida ; )

it's raining...shocker...or not

Yesterday was the first day here that I've seen sun en Santiago. It's ALWAYS raining. Ok when I say rain, I mean it's either hardcore raining or misting.  Generalmente, it's a good mist. If I was at home or school, I would def not be using una paragua este tiempo but seeing as how I live farthest from everything and everyone and everyone else uses una paragua for this weather well una paragua doesn't sound too bad. Soooo walking around the city takes strategy with everyone's paraguas (umbrellas).

Directions take me awhile, especially since all these streets curve every which way and there's forks at like every corner.  So during the day, since it was nice yesterday, I took advantage of it and just walked around the city trying to scope things out and become a little more familiar with how to get places on my own. I would enjoy another day, preferably when it's not raining, to go out by myself and explore because that'll be the easiest way for me to learn where everything is and how to get places. I need to wander solo.
