Rethinking it

I've already re-thought my decision to keep this blog private.  If anyone out there finds my thoughts interesting enough to make a friendly comment, I'd like to hear it.  That's the beauty of blogging, surely.

first post

I just discovered a blog I started about 4 years ago as a trial.  I've temporarily disabled the settings that would allow this blog to be found easily on the web.  I'm thinking--if it took me 4 years to get around to my first post, it might not be the most active blog a person could read.  Still, it's been on my mind a lot for a while, so why not?  Now that I have actually moved out of the States perhaps I have something to share.

In that vein, I'll say that I have moved to Santiago, Chile.  I'm slowly exploring the place.  So far, I'm fascinated by the people and the place.  I don't have any juicy horror stories but I'll be sharing my experiences such as they are. My husband is currently part of the team building the new Baha'i House of Worship in Santiago.  I don't hear much of what goes on there but will include what I can.  Poco a poco, little by little.

And yes, this place has a lot of little earthquakes.  If they don't reach more than 7 on the Richter scale, they're called temors, not earthquakes.  I'm on the top floor of a 15 story building and up here a 6.something tremor is a bit of a roller coaster ride.
