Inside Student BlogsLast trip in Chile and thoughtsSantiago, Spring 2010
Although I am writing from Buenos Aires, Argentina instead of home in the US, this is my final, post-departure blog post. It has been an amazing semester full of new experiences, great people and travel. My final trip was to the famous San Pedro de Atacama in the north of Chile with some of my best friends from the program. The area is known for its desert climate, many activities, and beautiful artisan crafts. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves from watching the world cup with the locals to sandboarding to seeing the sunset in the Valley of the Moon to geysers to horseback riding and everything in between. An incredible way to end an incredible semester.
