Welp, i finally visited Valparaiso - the vale of paradise! Staying much more true to it's name than my hometown in IN, Valparaiso is a very beautiful and colorful city. Houses cling to hillsides and steep, narrow streets create a maze of pathways through town. Very cool, indeed.
Welp, i am spending my last 4 days in Chile doing the city thing. I just finished a 12 hour bus ride and arrived in Vina Del Mar. I will check out the ocean and explore the city today, experience the night life later, and visit Valparaiso tomorrow.
Also worth noting, i made my first phone call in almost 7 months today! From a pay phone, taboot taboot! How strange, but enjoyable, it has been to live phone free in the age of cellulars. Hope everyone has a good weekend!
Spanish Lesson of the Day: Living in the larger cities, impulse thinking keeps you busy! Say it with me now! Vivir en las ciudades más grandes, pensando impulso que mantiene ocupado!
Welp, i went fishing today on the Rio Trancura. Lots of risers, but it was a really tight river with lots of brush along the banks. I had a hard time casting and didn't catch a damned thing. It was kind of frustrating, but good time nonetheless.
Language Lesson of the Day: A day spent fishing is kind of like pizza or sex. Even when it's bad, it's still pretty good! Say it with me now! Un dia de pescand es como pizza o sexo. iCuando es malo, es mejor aún!
Welp, am i wrong to believe that The Complete Calvin & Hobbes is a book that can stand beside The Republic in terms of philosophic theory and political influence? Maybe so, maybe not.
Language Lesson of the Day: I have left Argentina and am in Osorno, Chile waiting for my bus to Pucon. In ten days i will return to North America. What a pretty afternoon. Say it with me now! He salido Argentina y estoy en Osorno, Chile esperando por mi bus a Pucon. Voy a volver a Norte America in diez dias. Que un tarde bonita.
Welp, I spent my last day in Barlioche walking around the city center and making friends. Say hello to Duke and his pup.
Welp, i went on a bike ride today. 58 km or so. Barlioche is truly a beautiful city. I like it very much.
