    Chile, Day 3
    Like yesterday, I got a late start to the day. Unlike the day before, however, it wasn?t because I needed to catch up on sleep. In fact, I hardly slept. I woke up early and ended up screwing around on the Internet, and I didn?t leave my hotel until[...]

    Chile, Day 2
    The painted wall outside of Neruda's former home, La Chascona . Last night I finally got something like a decent night?s sleep. It?s good to sleep soundly every few weeks. But sleeping well meant getting a relatively late start to the day,[...]

    Chile, Day 9
    I never would have guessed this was possible, but directly beside my room?s small skylight there appears to live a colony of seagulls. And I discovered today that seagulls and chickens have something significant in common: they wake up slightly[...]

    Chile, Day 5
    H appy New Year! Last night I opted to await the New Year on the rooftop of the building adjoining my hotel. (Because of the rooftop pool, the hotel?s guests have access to the area.) Although only about 10 other people were[...]

    Chile, Day 6
    There were a few sand sculptures by the beach, but only one caught my eye ? I think because I saw some of myself in it. Today I moved on from Santiago to Viña del Mar. I started off after a minimal breakfast and arrived by taxi at[...]
  • Recipe Chile, Day 1
    Chile, Day 1
    As usual, I?m exhausted and don?t imagine I?ll write much in this entry. The reason I?m so tired is because my flight left Guayaquil at 11:30 p.m., and I wasn?t able to sleep at all for the 4 1/2 hour trip to Santiago. It didn?t help that LAN?s[...]

    For some reason I like this piece of graffiti-art . I got a late start today, mostly because I was dreading the hills that awaited me. Also, my feet were sore and tired and I didn?t have a lot on my travel agenda today. When I did leave ?[...]
