First, Dale, glad your moral issues have been solved. But, Nicolae Ceauşescu? New role model?

My summer has been rather uneventful. I wake up too early and drive into Boston with my sister, who recently started working at Children's Hospital in the city after graduating. I work at John Hancock in Boston, which sounds really patriotic and American loving, until you realize that they're owned by a Canadian company. On the plus side, the Canadians love having food in the office, so I'm constantly eating wraps and cookies.

My family went to Nantucket for a little under a week for July4. For those of you who haven't been, Nantucket is pretty similiar to Georgetown - cobblestone, rich people, John Kerry lurking around - only on an island with sweet beaches. It's also really small, so we rented bikes and pretty much saw the entire island without ever needing a car.

One question for you fall abroaders - when do you all leave?

I'm supposed to be there Sept 4, so I'm leaving the night of Sept 3, probably.

I'm here in santiago already--its absolutely amazing! The city is really pretty, except its really cold and no one has central heating. We've just had orientation and all that stuff, but at night we've gone out to several bars which has been fun. I move in with my host family tonight, so that will be interesting. I'll write more when I have time later
