I just wrote a really long blog post but safari unexpectedly quit and it was deleted, so in short: tomorrow I'm going to Valapraiso and Isla Negra to hang out on the beach, eat a lot of seafood, visit the murals in the open sky museum, and see Pablo Neruda's houses. I'm sure there will be picturs to come....a funny story: Jenna and I went back to interpol yesterday and there were a million people there so we got a number and left and walked around and had lunch but in the restaurant where we ate, the only thing to drink was instant coffee (undrinkable) or liters of beer. So we had to share a liter of beer. at 11:30 am. and then go to the police station. but what was funnier was that we obviously couldn't drink it all and so I just put the bottle in my bag and we left only to turn around and see our waitress running after us down the street because she needed the bottle back and we had a really funny conversation where she thought that some crazy gringas who only ordered avocado sandwiches with no meat were going to come back in an hour to finish a liter of beer that they ordered for breakfast. i think how funny this situation really was is definitely not being conveyed by this poor explanation. my grasp of the english is slipping. really much more exciting things have been happening than that, but I need to pack and go to sleep.
