Por fin! The infamous "music scene" hit Conce! Manu Chao concert November 23rd.
Mi amiga Laura (a fellow WorldTeach volunteer and Wisconsinite) introduced me to Manu Chao on our trip to Peru in July. I fell in love with his sweet beats and different languages and now listen to it all the time.
Last week, we heard a rumor that Manu Chao was coming to C
once. Turns out, the rumor is true! We are all SO excited for this. After almost 10 months of living here, I've determined that the "lots of concerts and live music and great night life" description of Concepción, Chile is false. Unless you consider reggaton blaring from dark, creepy nightclubs "great night life."
Nevertheless, this is not my typical Monday night event :) holla.
This morning I ran another 10k. This one was hosted by DiarioSur, one of the local newspapers.
I felt really good throughout the whole race and (I know this sounds weird) actually tried to push myself a bit. Throughout this year of running/racing, I've gotten used to just arriving and running. Not really thinking about it beforehand, not eating anything special to prepare. I just go.
But today I decided to run a bit faster. Turns out, I ran 8:30s and finished in 52:30. And so continues my increasing obsession with running. I really, really like it. I think it's the camaraderie of completing a goal with other people. Woo! sports! I like seeing all the different people that show up and how everyone cheers each other on, working towards "la meta" (finish line). And the random t-shirts, medals, water bottles and other free stuff doesn't hurt!
Two more weeks of classes! Hallelujah
