Adios Santiago!

Well, its time to go Santiago. You´ve been a great home base, but the gypsy in me is ready to be on the road again....

Thats right folks, after a month in Santiago, i´m finally going to be on the move again! I don´t know if this will motivate me to blog more, as i´ll be seeing more, or if i´ll blog less for lack of access to a computer. who knows! anyways, i will do my best to keep everyone updated.

I´ve had a wonderful month of side trips (to mendoza, reñaca, ect), lots of good food, the great company of Erin´s family, i´ve wash all of my laundry.... a couple of times in a row, so i´ll be good and clean when i leave. I´m sad to say i´ll be leaving with a bit of a heavy heart, as my beloved Patriots got beat down last night. I was lucky enough to be able to watch the game at the US Marine House with people from all over the US who work at the embassy here in Santiago. I was doing my best to represent the east side, and get people rooting for the Pats, but alas, we got whooped, bad. very very sad. I think a change scenery will do me good.

Our plan of action for the next few weeks is to head north of Santiago in to the desert areas of Chile. We´ve seen such a variety of landscape in this long, long, long country, i´m excited to see what else it can possibly have to offer.

After northern Chile, we´ll be heading into Boliva. After much, much running around, Erin and I were able to get visas into Boliva, and we´re pumped to get there, as many fellow travelers have labeled it the Must See country they´ve been to. We´ll be going from south to north through Boliva and then up to Peru. After that who knows, if the money holds up, we´d like to see Ecuador, Columbia (yikes! a little nervous about that one), and Venezula. And if I still have money after that..... maybe Panama, Costa Rica.... oye, i guess i´ll just keep going!

Anyways, all of you in the states are doing well! I miss you all! I miss Boston and Hawaii and everything in between! Nothing like being away from home to make you appreciate what you have! Take care!!! xxoo
