Reasons why I'm happy

  1. I went to Valpo and Viña this weekend with Jack and it was so relaxing. We stayed at a beautiful apartment in Playa Ancha and spent the days walking along the beach, eating delicious food, and laying on the beach. Oh, and of course watching the Teletón, which I had never seen before. That probably deserves a post all of its own.
  2. Universidad Católica won the Championship!! I'm not that into Chilean soccer teams, but I hate Colo Colo because it's like being a fan of the Yankees. Who wants to cheer for the team with the most money and that everyone cheers for? Plus, their uniforms are fugly. And I strongly dislike the Universidad de Chile because a bunch of hoodlums on their way to a game stole my purse. Also I've been to a few U. Católica games and the stadium is in one of the most beautiful spots in Santiago (even though it's so far away it's practically Argentina...)
  3. I'm going home for Christmas in 17 days! I can't wait.
  4. Wednesday is a holiday! Yay for breaking up the workweek. I think I'm going to go to the pool on Cerro San Cristobal. Fun.

Well, I think 4 reasons are enough to be happy, especially for a Monday.

It's good to have multiple reasons to be happy. ;) And I went to my first game yesterday...Colo-Colo. It was an experience!!!

"Spent the days walking along the beach, eating delicious food, and laying on the beach" in Chile is complete bliss for me. I'm so jealous! I have a weird connection with Teleton. I've been there twice while it was going on and also there are the other random Teleton connections I wrote about in my "Famous Chile" post.

I missed the Teletón! I usually watched it every year.

I love Playa Ancha! My photo on Facebook was from Playa Ancha.
