So Ok,

I got a wicked hangover. Not surprised.

The worst part was waking up early to go to the Pisco Elqui valley. Yup. PISCO valley. Where they make booze.

(photos will come)

But in summary. Pisco is super alcoholic.

Kind of like a better tasting paint stripper.

The bus ride is long.

We get home only to be invited out drinking in Coquimbo. (My mother’s accidental town of birth)

La Serena

Caroline saw me off at Auckland airport. We completely missed each other at Laneway. Laneway was interesting, kind of weird. I had a very long hug with David as I said goodbye, and continually apologised for the state of the Log Cabin.

This is on Cristi’s balcony in Santiago. Waiting for my Aunt and Uncle to come take me for a 5 hour drive to La Serena. After 30 hours of travelling, what’s 5 more in a car?

Lan lost my luggage in LA, so I borrowed a t-shirt from Joseph, Opeth.

This is in my cousin Pauli’s apartment

We went for a walk with her friends through the city.


lots of dogs in Chile…


That’s me on the right.

update

I was thinking about bitching about how people don’t update their diaries, but that would be hypocritical wouldn’t it?
I figured out my course selection for next year, not many surprises…. 2 night classes though, which sucks ass. (so eloquent!)

I sand papered off a lot of skin on my middle finger…. it really hurts… also it means I can’t get it wet, because it stings.

I have an architectural history exam on friday, I have not studied, I’m apparently hoping for some kind of miracle.

I realised today, that if i’d stuck at vic, and not had all the bullshit, this would be my last few weeks of study ever.

sad that things don’t always go to plan.

and yes, I still have no net connection on my computer

typing takes a long time as I have extreme pain in my middle finger Read more →

Songs from a Bread Ad
