Our first week in Santiago



Hola from Santiago! Almost all of us have made it so far...some of us a little later than others. This week has been full of half-day Spanish classes, finding lodging, exploring new streets, and foraging for good food. Next week we begin our actual MBA classes at the University of Alberto Hurtado.


Here's a great view of the city from my flight in:



Santiago is surrounded by mountains on several sides, and the streets are lined with trees and greenery. Ty, Adam, Colleen, Mark and I found an awesome apartment with the help of a student organization here. It is a 4bdrm, 3.5 bath, 2-story place in the Providencia neighborhood -- here are some pics: 


 

We visited our school for an orientation and tour yesterday...


And then we started off a fun evening with some vino tinto! Salud!
