This morning I woke up at around 9:00 to Tomas yelling “goal”. He was playing fifa in the room right next to mine. I got up and went to watch him play. He had just scored with his favorite player, Son. I watched him play for two more games. He won both of them. His team is very good because of all the good players we have won doing SBC (squad building challenges).
We were both a little hungry so we went down stairs to have a snack. We had some marshmallows with manjar. They were very good but a little too much sugar for me in the morning.
We went back up stairs to watch some Netflix. We watched some shows for about an hour until it was time to have breakfast. His parents had made eggs and toasted some bread. We ate breakfast and talked about the rugby tournament in Argentina that his little brother played in last week. Apparently a lot of the kids got hurt or sick. One of the kids even broke his collar bone. I can say from watching Tomas play that rugby is a very violent sport.
Once everyone was done, Tomas and I went back upstairs to watch Netflix again. We continued the series we were watching for about an hour. Then Tomas had to take a shower, because he had to go get his hair cut. While he was doing that, I had to do the sad job of starting to pack my suitcase.
When Tomas got home, we left to go see his moms new office. Her new office building is very cool. From there, we drove to the barbecue at Tati’s house.
At the barbecue we talked, played soccer, and bounced on the trampoline. We had burgers and hot dogs to eat. It was a good time and our final get together as a group in Chile. We will be sad to leave tomorrow, but I know we are all looking forward to seeing each other again in December.
We left the barbecue at around 6 and went back to Tomas’s house. Tomas and I continued to hang out and watch Netflix. We watched more of the TV shows we had been watching earlier.
At around 9 O’clock we had our final family dinner. We had chicken and talked about how fun the last two weeks had been. We had dessert, and Tomas and I went back upstairs.
As we were watching TV, Chile had to say goodbye to us. It did this in form of a small, about 10 second tremor. It was a pretty cool and unique feeling when the ground moved under my feet. After this we decided to go bed because of my big travel day tomorrow. I quickly finished packing and was off to bed.
On behalf of all the CA kids, I would like to thank all of the exchange families for the kindness and great hospitality they have shown us. It was a really fun time, and I think we are all sad to leave.
