Okay... no... I have no updated this diligently like I meant to... but that does not mean that I have not kept a record of my travels. Pictures say all, plus I have many handwritten entries.. which are a bit more private (and not for you to read.. haha).
I am now nearing the end of my stay here in Chile. I have less than 2 weeks. I have built many relationships... with Chileans, with Panamanians, with Trinidadians, and many other Latin Americans. The temperature is warming up, and it is nearing Spring. Like this, the change in the weather, I feel like also signifies a change in my life and my stay. I cannot believe it. I am so very very happy here and so at peace. All things come to an end though. I must move on with life and take on new challenges and new opportunities. I cannot cling to the past. For that only sickens the soul and and the same time wastes my precious youth.
I feel older. Wiser.
I think I look older and wiser too. When I go home, I expect my family and friends to perceive me differently. I have also gained some weight.. haha Chilean food is not good! Too many sweets (manjar on everything! but i love alfajors... and super 8s and golpes...), too much mayo, and palta too.
I am so thankful for this experience here. Really I am a happy girl and I know I have lived a good life thus far. Thank you to everyone who has made this possible for me.
