Last 24 hours in Chile.

Oh snap!

I went and bought wine this morning to carry home with me, then I laughed at myself because I don't know how I am going to fit three bottles of wine and a bottle of pisco in my tiny backpack, when I barely had room for all my stuff when I arrived. We'll see how that goes.

Anyways, so, Chile, al final I am going to miss you muchísimo, and yes, I am glad that I came. I know this is the way it always goes (and hence why I decided to stay in Guatemala for longer), but now that I am leaving I'm sad because I have finally found my rhythm socially. I met some neat artsy kids that are fun to hang out with, I'm not scared of riding my bike anymore, I have Chilean friends that live close by, I've grown quite fond of Chilean cultural idiosyncracies, and I find myself incorporating the ridiculous but loved Chilean slang in all parts of my speech as if it were nothing. So now I'm leaving.

Well, on to Buenos Aires tomorrow, that is, and then Mexico City.
