Half way Done - Blogabond

We have just finished out 4th day in Chile and the time has blown by. We have been having some amazing experiences. Today, we went and did a service project for a girls "orphange" and it completely opened my eyes. The sad part is that we were not able to complete our project due to lack of tools. We cleaned off a basketball court and tried to replace the backboards and rims, but did not have the necessary tools to put the new hoops up. Therefore the girls have a clean court and no rims to play on. I think the VE Global volunteer group will be going to complete the project soon.

I am really looking forward to the netx few days because we will be having some extremely interesting tours including a vineyard and a major port. Unfortunately, our trip on Saturday has been cancelled due to the weather so that was a major disappointment for us all. I really was looking forward to the mine especially because it was the largest underground copper mine in the world, but I guess I will just have to go with the flow and find some other exciting activity to occupy my time.
