Wow! I am so envious of you on this trip. It's a must do. And looking on google maps, it's in a simply amazing spot. Look at those mountain ranges on either side! Beautiful. Sounds bloody brilliant, Kate.
Hello Kate,
Just read your blog and am hoping you'll have time to get back to me, although I understand if you don't!
Hope you're back to normal now. Your blog was reassuring - nice to know there are always people who'll help out.
But why I'm mailing is for info. about your spanish schools. I'll be going to S. America in October and want to spend a month learning Spanish in the beginning. I'm thinking of doing this in Bolivia.
I'm interested to know how much you feel you learned - and do you feel one thing was better than another? - the private or the group lesson. If you can give contact details of your schools - great - and the appartment - and may I ask what your lessons cost?
Have a good trip - I'll be following your blogs to find out more about S. America!
Take care, Tracey.
reminds me.. Hey I had a bus trip like that too, but it was in Timaru earlier this year, yip we run out of petrol but the bus driver thought it was something else and really didnt do a good job of communicating to us what was wrong and i could beleive how people were just so calm and patient and quite ok with sitting there for 2 hours waiting for help, quite odd really. Great story telling hun, keep up the great work xx
Loving your blog! Hi Kate, your experiences so far sound wonderful. It must be so amazing to see something new and spectacular every day. From your descriptions and photos I can see it is a magnifcently colourful place. Very cheerful indeed. So you have already managed to go to a police station... at least you got that outta the way early on. take care and keep us updated with all your fab adventures!
What beautiful life pictures living in the present - I was at the edge of my seat to find out what you had discovered and Puento del diablo looks amazing! keep the up the great character building work ;-0 love U
jeff.e.davenport@gmail.com Had to open Google earth to see where the hell you are which I can now see is on the southern east coast of South America. Nice photos. nice composition etc. Chip off the ole block. I can see that you have the camera settings just right. Good color and exposure and just the right file size for uploading.
You go sis
photos Get those bloody photos loaded pronto and I hope that you are not in most of them...Local flavours kate...the colours you describe, how the people live and what they surround themselves with. Take me there and show me around....
pizza, Empanadas and steak for dinner next week hi chicken - sounds wonderful so far.. I just had a steak so will wait til next week and have a nice steak with you, and I'll maybe try puff pastry filled with stuff (what do they fill with??)
my course is going well although I'm a week behind and going away for a wedding tomorrow to Noosa (wedding is on friday) -so Gemma and I on a little holiday til sunday.
I've just done my first portfolio shot which is cool and I guess that will build up as the course goes along.
There are a few volunteers too for styling - penny for John's wedding... bridget asked me to have a look through her wardrobe and Kat is looking for some maternity wear so i'll hopefully be able to help her there...
I have a new tattoo (the castles in the sky one) - 2 1/2 hours got done today and another 2 hours in 3 weeks time to finish it off - i'm loving it (lucky!) hahahaha
i'll post some facebook photos after I mail my overdue assignment ;-)
me love you long time and hope it's been pleasurable so far ;-) xxxxxxx
YAY!!! to something better than Corona! and limes and nachos.. I'm making enchiladas on Saturday in your honour. I should try and eat something south American every week so let me know what's on the menu and I'll try to recreate it here! :-)
don't eat the lettuce You go sis. I'm sure you will have loads of fun (and some not so fun). Remember travelling is not just about visiting new and interesting places, but about leaving a little bit of yourself behind for others to enjoy.
Tip. Set your camera so that pics are around 100 -200kb which will be easy enough to upload to your fancy new travel blog. xxx
