día de amor

happy valentine's day everyone! while my day was not filled with an intense make-out sesh in the park like the hundreds of chileans i saw today, it was a great day nonetheless.

it began with my spanish professor having us fill in the missing lyrics to this very sentimental love song: "Sexo" by Los Prisioneros

here is the chorus:

Sexo compro

Sexo vendo

Sexo arriendo

Sexo, sexo, sexo

translation: 

i buy sex

i sell sex

i rent/lease sex ?

sex sex sex

i think you get the point.

after class we went to the cathedral at the Plaza de Armas and then to the "Museo Histórico Nacional" with our monitores

Catedral de Santiago

Monumento de Los Heroes - my monitor has a family member's name on this!

Plaza de Armas

after going to the Museo Histórico Nacional, my group went to a restaurant called "Malas Artes" in the neighborhood Bellas Artes. Chileans really do love their sarcasm.

a few tables away from us was a couple - an old man and younger woman - straight up making out and groping each other for over an hour. and they were they long before we arrived.

after, a few of us went to an AMAZING ice cream place. and then i came home to this box of chocolates from my host mom :)

feliz día de los enamorados!
