We tried different types of bread that were freshly made in the fire that sits in the center of the Ruka.

We started at Horcón, a fishing village with a lot of small local artisans and restaurants. They have a tradition of using horses to pull in fishing boats. After Horcón, we went north to Zapallar. This beach was very secluded and clean. It was surrounded by houses owned by the wealthiest of Chileans, as well as high-end restaurants. It was super interesting to see the economic disparities on the short drive from Horcón to Zapallar. </span><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div><p><span lang="EN-US">Semester classes have started at the university, and it's a big change from the early block I took in February. Instead of 10 international students in the entire school, there are now around 100 total international students, as well as all the Chilean students back from summer break. It has been tougher to make Chilean friends than I would've expected. However, I am taking every opportunity I can to interact. For example, we had a language exchange where exchange students and local students could all come together and practice each other's languages and form connections. </span><span>&nbsp;</span></p></div><div> <div class="align-left col gallery-item"> <a href="/iafs/sites/default/files/2025-04/Church%2C%20Margo%20school.JPG" class="glightbox ucb-gallery-lightbox" data-gallery="gallery" data-glightbox="description: presentation "> <img class="ucb-colorbox-small" src="/iafs/sites/default/files/2025-04/Church%2C%20Margo%20school.JPG" alt="presentation"> </a> </div> <p><span lang="EN-US">     I am very interested in my courses as well. They consist of globalization, colonization and decolonization, and dances of Latin America. All my classes are taught in Spanish, which is giving me good speaking and comprehension practice. My favorite class is the dance class.
