BICYCLE!!!

oooh, what a wonderful day! Today my roomate cristian and i went to a wonderful market full of random stuff in santiago. he loves collecting antique things and i just like random things and i need clothes and stuff so i went with him. It was this huge market along about 8 blocks, but probably more than that. And everything was really cheap! I bought two really cute sweaters for the winter, one was about 4 dollars and the other was 25 cents! i also got a wallet and A BICYCLE!! I am in love! It is a lime green and it is really retro and it was only about 50 dollars! Love it! I will post a picture of it soon. It costs so much to ride the metro and buses here so a bike will be great! They also had amazing fruits and veggies too so i bought a ton of tomatoes, lettuce, nectarines (10 for less than $1), oranges, strawberries, green pepper, onion- yum, i'm getting hungry! My shoulders hurt now though because i had to carry all of the stuff back home! oh well...
Last night I went to an asado which is a barbeque with some friends i met at my hostel. It was really fun and i met some new friends from mexico who are studying here. I think we are all going to hang out again tonight.
I have started my intensive spanish class and so far it is okay. My professor is really awesome and i really like learning chilean spanish words "modismos" but i do not like doing homework when i feel like i am on vacation! bwhaha, i suppose i have to suck it up and just do it..
