Andy (12/14)

The son of Deb's co-worker (a salesman that travels a lot from the US to S.A.) is staying with us for a couple of days because he wants to get a job in Chile and live here. Andy's father is Cuban, he has lots of family in Venezuela, he's lived all of his life in the States, and he talks like a gringo (though, I think better than I after being here for a year). He came down on the spur of the moment because we had dinner with his dad and some other ADS people one evening last week and suggested that if he wanted to get a job he should come to Chile soon while schools still have hours. Anyway, Deb and I both work, so he has been on his own during the day. But, when I come home we go out to see Santiago. It's been fun taking him around. He's a nice guy and has been easy to get to know. I think he's enjoyed staying with us, even if his job hunting hasn't been terribly productive. He did speak with the director of Lincoln and things went very well. But, I think things for next year have been kind of set and there really aren't any openings. We'll have to see.
