Morning Woods

Feeling tired and worn-out as we arrive at school this morning, we seek rejuvenation by taking a little hike to Nido's nearby hill. There we catch a great view of the surrounding area and watch the elementary school students run around on the track.

Advising and Observing

We stay in Lissa's class for a little bit to help her students critique and revise each other's infographics. Afterwards, we observe one of Erica C's classes during a class-wide discussion about past genocides and how they came about. The point of the discussion is to make the students realize that by segregating and oppressing a group of people, reason degenerates and horrible acts become not only acceptable, but the norm. And it can all start with this idea of "bullying." 

Music Class

For the last period of the day Brian joins a friend for a high school music class. Two very talented ensembles play two very different songs, one by David Guetta and the other by La Oreja de Van Gogh.

Sky Costanera

After school we jump 3,000 meters (9,843 ft) in altitude by going up 62 floors in an elevator of the tallest building on the entire continent of South America. Erica C. takes us to see an incredible 360 degree view of the colossal city of Santiago at the top of the Costanera Tower. Once there, we take pictures and walk around the two floors until the sun is set. What a magical experience. Afterwards, Erica C. and Ryan invite us to dinner at a popular Italian restaurant called Tiramisu.
