The mountain, with sunlight glinting off their snow-capped slopes and peaks was entice, I'll give you that. But the landing quickly squelched any enthusiasm I had worked up over the weather. Pea soup. Bleh! No wonder we were delayed for so long in Santiago's (Chile) airport.
Once again with the record breaking in cold places... Geneva did this to me too ;-p
Thick clouds, intense cold, polar weather front chilling the countryside at a rate which had small trees on campus completely frozen over. Being a mostly arid region however, at least I didn't have to deal with waist-deep snow. Counting my blessings over here.
The language though!! I am once again surrounded by castellano, that is to say 'spanish', and I am loving it! The professors (all of them female) are wonderful, welcoming and excited to be working with me. There being over 40 of them, I am unlikely to learn all of their names anytime soon, but I am hopeful that by the end of semester I will accomplish the task.
