Hey everyone, sorry these have taken so long to come up. If I didn't procrastinate so much, maybe I would have remembered to pack my camera cable with my stuff and I would be able to get photos onto my computer in a more timely manner. But, I refuse to like in the "what if" world, so here they are, nice and late...
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.

Rach, I bought the Manning book and loved it, in fact I have it here with me! The others I am sure will be enlightening but I make no promises to agree with the authors! haha, I hear an awesome discussion coming on. And I am so stoked to read that Irresistable revolution book that you have only talked about forever!
