Smoggy Sunsets

Hello world!

I'm still researching cameras (*read saving up for a proper camera*) but in the mean time I thought I'd share some pictures of the smoggy sunset. As I've mentioned before, the smog in Santiago is terrible. Think Los Angeles x a billion. It does, however, make for some amazing sunsets! I was hanging out in my living room and suddenly realized that the view outside warranted documentation. Of course my sad little phone couldn't capture the actual beauty (the mountains were literally pink!) but here's what I got:

 

Clearly my phone's camera quality is becoming a problem. I'm not sure if you can really tell... but in the bottom picture you can see Cerro San Cristobal in the background. In the foreground you can see a big tent. The city puts on markets every season. This tent just went up last week and it will house a big book fair (feria de libros). It's mostly children's and young adult books, but I figure that's about my Spanish reading level anyway. Perfect! Ha!

I'll be back soon with more Santiago updates. This will be an interesting week because I got a new schedule at work which includes a bunch of new students. Wish me luck!

P.S. testing some different things to make my blog better :) I'll fill you in once I have stuff set up!
