Anniversario! Eh eh eh!

Dios mio!  Where has the time gone amigos?!  At this time last year it was my first official day having arrived in Chile for my six month adventure.  My nerves were unreal but I quickly bonded with an amazing group of individuals with like minded spirits who set off on the same adventure as me.  This adventure proved to be the best decision I ever made and Chile will always be a huge part of who I am.  The amazing people I met, my special students, the adventures I had, the family that took me in and made me feel welcome into their lives all have such a special place en mi corazon.  So as a celebration of my anniversary and missing my home away from home, I wanted to post some of my favorite photos and memories from Chile and Argentina (a few photo creds to some fellow vols).  Viva Chile!!
