So here I am, after far too much neglect of affection towards the computer (i.e. blogging. South America has a way of separating you from the internet). But as I have a hard time with structure as it is, I will try my honest best to keep this updated! I canÂ´t thank you enough for caring enough to read about me life! IÂ´ll try to keep it spicy for ya! So the basics: here I find myself living... Read Full Entry

Shes a fighter!

at the coffee factory. this nation does not drink brewed coffee, they are all about the ¨nescafe¨instant coffee mix. oh my. alex and i have to look to the ends of the earth to find good coffee. this is also right before i had a verbal brawl with a beggar who wanted to take alex´s nutella croissant. first, no means no. second, do NOT try to take ANYTHING nutella from a girl!!!!

Happpppyyyyy

Vina del Mar. Our first few days and and some transparent flesh.

home

i like you, santiago.

Fashion architecture.

yes, that building was made in the shape of a giant cell phone. old school. good luck when that phone company movistar goes out of business and they have to put it on the market.

pretties

hibiscus flowers have my heart.

exterior design.

God is a pretty slick designer, if you ask me.

my neighborhood

everything matching!

Color wheels

Gradients that catch my eye.

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds...

amazing street grafiti. Someone learn me, please.

Grafitti is quite deep.

¨the street HAS no boss¨ i couldnt agree more.

A sign.

the sand stuck on liz´s leg in the shape of north and south america.

The real question.

I´m sorry, I really am. It´s just that I was wondering.

oldschool fun.

we saw 3 sets of kids play with this strand of rubber. how entertaining. really, where are all the Transformers around here??

beauty.

Ice cream. my heart sings with you.

dictionary

as any smart traveler, we keep a book of aquired words that we stumble upon. seeing them all together is entertaining, and telling.

pan con todos.

thankyou, italy, for making carbohydrate a vitamin here in chile.

bluesies

this flower is everywhere. and it makes me happy inside.

roomie and me

beware. whenever you take a picture like this in public, rest assured a borderline creepy man will offer to take the picture for you, usually with some reference to you being the prettiest flower in the picture. no, i´m just a loser who likes to take uncomfortable and awkward holdouts. keep your hands off my camera.

Congratulations
I stumbled upon your blog... well, I was looking at Chile because I miss it so much and happened to read yours. Good luck to you in your new life in Chile. My 2 years there were some of my best and reading your blog reminding me of so much. I am currently living in Honduras and have so much trouble changing all my words from the Chilean ones I learned to ones they might understand here! It is a challenge but it is worth it, once you can speak Chilean you can speak any Spanish! Good luck and enjoy every moment, Kari

Hola! I love your blog so far, and since there's just one I will be eagerly anticipating the next entry. Are you from California too? I said the same thing on my visit to Chile (see my blog post) "Who needs California?!" Best thing of all, you take tons of pictures which I love. I just wish they enlarged bigger? Im returning to Chile in less than 2 weeks- 10 days in PN Torres del Paine, then 3 days in Santiago to party with friends; see Termas Colinas and Cajon de Maipo; Zapallar, Vina, Valpo and Quintay!! I can't wait. Realize Im jealous of you, because you are living there and I am living in California. *sigh, I guess Ill live vicariously through your blogs!!
