Maipu is a middle class suburb of Santiago where there is a second Ursuline school, also called Colegio Santa Ursula. Our happy delegation recently spent the day in Maipu, visiting the Ursuline school as well as the historical Basilica of Maipu where a famous battle of Chilean independence occurred in 1818. It was a fabulous excursion on a beautiful day! Lots of friends were made and we learned a lot about Chile's history.

| It was exciting to visit the Basilica just after the announcement of our new Pope |
 |
| We decided to climb the steps all the way down from the lookout at the top of the Basilica |
