I finally got internet hooked up in my house, so I now I dont have to go to internet cafes all the time. Also, I can call people on skype and upload pictures. Here are a couple from from the beach, Niebla, and the old Spanish ruins there. I will post more as I take them, i've been waiting for a sunny day to take more pictures of downtown Valdiva. That will be next.
Everything's all good here. One of my students won the regional championship for public speaking (in English) so me, him and the other English teacher won a trip to Antofogasta in northern Chile in August. I practiced with him a lot and he nailed it at the competition and won, it's very exciting and rewarding as a teacher. I've been ahving fun here. Valdivia is a really, beuatiful and fun city to live in. Tomorrow i will be 23 and I'm having a asado (bbq) tonight with the other volunteers in Valdivia and host families and teachers and such, should be fun.
Of course, I heard about Michael Jackson's death. He was and is very popular in Chile and a lot of the tv stations have been showing his videos. Its weird to think he is gone, and experiencing that news from a different country has been interesting. It seems that whether you are a big fan or not, and despite his personal issues, his songs were something that everyone worldwide, despite their different cultures could share and enjoy together. It's strange (and beautiful, in a way) how sad events like this can bring the world closer together.

Kevin, looks as though your having a wonderful time in Chile. You've done a lot in your life and there is still much more to come.
The Oh My Land EP is going to sound really good. It's great that you were able to record with us before shoving off. I'd like to mail you a copy of the CD when it arrives. What is your address? Can you receive letters?
PAUL
