Luci, Fran, Chica, Me, Dani
Friday afternoon I went to my friend Fran's house with my group of girl friends from my class and we just hung out, talked, and ate until midnight. Even though I've only been in their class for a little less than a month we get along so well and it so much fun to hang out with them.
My host brother Dani got 3 free tickets to Fantasilandia (Chile's big amusement park, their version of Kings Island) that expired this Saturday. He couldn't go because of work so he gave them to me and I went with my exchange friends Briana and Olivia. There are 2 pretty decent rollercoasters and one okay drop tower that we went on, but the rest of the ride were just spinny teacups and tiny water rides. It was a great day but Fantislandia has got nothing on U.S. theme parks.

Saturday night I went to a big party with my Chilean friends, it was an great night filled with lots of dancing.
LOLLAPALOOZA!
This weekend was Lollapalooza Chile. Lollapalooza is a music festival originally started in Chicago (I went to the Chicago one in 2010). Last year it started to expand internationally and this was the second year the festival has been in Chile. I went with my good exchange friends Kelly, Olivia, and Grace and we got to see Foster the People, Band of Horses, Tinie Tempah, Skrillex, and the Foo Fighters. The festival was almost the exact same as it was when I went in the States and it was really gringo (Spanish word for American). I have never seen so many foreigners in one place in Chile. It was an awesome day, spent with amazing people, filled with great music, lots of dancing, and many hilarious experiences.

I have Thursday and Friday off of school for Semana Santa (Saint Week) to celebrate Easter. I'm leaving today to my host grandparents beach house to celebrate with my extended host family. Hope all of you have a great Easter!
