So i did it! I bought my plane tickets to Venezuela and Chile. Now you may be wondering... why Venezuela? well, a few days ago i decided that I was either going to go to Guyana or Trinidad for a few weeks before Chile, so here I go. I leave on the 18th of August for Venezuela and then on the 1 of Sept. for Chile. Craziness!!! I am so excited though. I wish my mom were here becuase I really wanted to call her and tell her what was going on. Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait the two weeks till she is back from Italy. Hard life huh?
I live near a long thin park called Parque Forestal. It's really quite a nice park and it has a long stretch of a lane for riding bikes or jogging. And since I have a fear of riding bikes in this city, I jog. It's really pleasent. I usually listen to radioDisney on my mp3 player and jog along to Jonas Brothers, Beyonce, or Julieta Venegas. Great stuff. Yesterday on my jog I noticed that the trees were beginning to change. Fall has finally arrived and I am glad for the change. But as I was jogging through the falling leaves, I began to think about how much I like fall. And I had this special moment when I realized that I want to be here in Santiago, jogging through this park for many falls to come. After the past few weeks of cultural adjustment being a little more painful than normal, this was a nice thought to have.
