Today was a super lazy Sunday. I got up around 11:30 and got
ready slowly, then went and cooked Pan de Pascua (which is a Christmas
specialty here that I think is basically fruit cake although I’ve never tried a
fruit cake in the US). Monse and I played computer games for a while and then
watched Pocahontas in Spanish. Then we all ate lunch together and talked for a
while. After lunch I Skyped for a little while with Ana and Emily. We did a
group Skype and it was really cool because I actually felt like I was with them
and I realized how much I missed the easy conversation and jokes and just miss
them.
After, I went with my mom and dad to vote. The presidential election is
today. I was surprised to find out that men and women have to go to separate
places to vote and that voting is mandatory for those 18 and older, not
optional. I entered with my mom into the little voting booth and she marked her
choices (Michelle Bachelet, socialist and former president) and closed up the
four little envelopes with lickable stamps. Then we walked out and put each
envelope into a separate box. That was the voting process. After we went to
vote, we stopped to get ice cream with Monse and Eric. Then we came home, I
talked to my friends over Skype, went for a run, ate a long dinner while
talking to my family, and then went to sleep.
