Why Chile?

August 2, 2022 by Katie Kelley Leave a Comment

Tap.. Tap.. Tap.. Is this thing on? It’s been a while. While Mark has put no pressure on me to blog this trip, after recently re-reading some entries from our 2016 blog, there were so many things that I forgot from our trip. I was so grateful to have the blog to jog my memory […]

La Casa en Vitacura, Santiago

August 1, 2022 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

I snapped a few pictures of the outside of our house today in Santiago. I would say the house location is solid, and that the location is the prevailing quality. We have relatively easy access to downtown (about 10 minutes away by Uber), and the house is within walking distance to supermarkets, cafes, and restaurants […]

In Admiration of Our Kids Ability to Adjust

July 31, 2022 by Mark Kelley 2 Comments

Making friends can be tough, especially in a foreign country where you have no existing network, don’t speak the language, don’t know the customs, and stand out as a foreigner. Katie and I recognize that we’ve put our kids into a difficult situation, pulling them out of known environments and plunging them into an unfamiliar […]

A Day at Parque Metropolitano de Santiago

July 29, 2022 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

One of our goals in our first week of arriving in Santiago was to climb to the top of San Cristobal Hill, a landmark in Santiago with a large statue of Mary at the peak and vistas to view the expansive metropolis. The hill is within Parque Metropolitano, the largest urban park in South America. […]

Daily Household Life Made a Little Harder

July 28, 2022 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

Our family speaks very little Spanish. Really very little. We’re excited by our immersion in the Chilean Spanish language spoken by a sea of six million Santiaguinos among whom we now live. Even within the home, we’re having to adjust to frequent Spanish language interactions. Daily chores like dishwashing, cooking, cleaning, and laundry are slowed […]

Ice Skating in July in Parque Araucano

Ice Skating in Parque Araunaco

On Sunday we left our North Carolina home in the heat of summer, and on Monday morning we arrived in Santiago in the cold of winter. The southern hemisphere seasons are opposite of the seasons to which we’re accustomed in the north. On a July day, when summer temperatures topped 100F in North Carolina, we […]

Arrival in Santiago de Chile

July 25, 2022 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

6am Arrival in Chile

Most of our past adventures have been within the United States, thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail, cycling across America, and RV’ing to National Parks for a year. Our departure for Chile is the first international adventure for our family. We’ve learned many lessons and faced many challenges through the planning and execution, and we’ll share those […]
