The first order of business is my basketball test. I hate to brag, but I did not receive 0/7... no, I scored a 3.5/7! This means that I did not make a single shot, BUT every single one of my shots hit the rim (no air balls!). This is the reason I run instead of play basketball.
I have had the joy of two beautiful sunsets in a row. I really wish I had my camera on last night's walk, but I did catch the tail end of tonight's sunset.

| This was the point in which I decided I needed a picture of the sunset tonight. I took this from the balcony outside my room before running across the street, but the bright colors were already gone by that time. |
The 21st of May is a holiday in Chile to celebrate the Chilean Navy. On May 21, 1897 there was a naval battle between the naval forces of Chile and Peru during the War of the Pacific. After this battle, Chile was able to claim more land, which is the northern most part of Chile today. Therefore, it is now a Chilean holiday. I went to the parade here and thanks to my height, I was able to capture a lot of the tops of heads in my pictures.

And check out the completion of the demolition...
I miss you all!! xoxo
