The Brighton Valparaiso

It was strange to be moving on from Pichilemu as I had become quite comfortable with the pace and setting as well as the routine in the hostel even with the nightly routine of swatting mosquitoes before going to bed. However the itch to move on had grown as I talked with other travellers and it seemed right to pitch myself back into the current....

I was in a bit of a rush, so I practically drank the last little container of strawberry yogurt that was also leftover from the sa...

Como estan amigos? I'll start with my typical disclaimer-this entry is going to be rushed and mediocre as its 10:30pm and I still have a 6 page paper to write. (at least it's in English) I'll also start with something else that's become pretty typical on my trip. I have been relieved of yet another belonging, this time being my beautiful, precio...
