me queda 1 mes

In exactly one month's time, I will be boarding a plane to return to the United States. Therefore I feel a sudden urge to be nostalgic. Here is a list of things (in no particular order, mind you) that I will miss about Chile:

  • Cheap, decent wine
  • Seeing the Andes everywhere I go
  • Cheap, plentiful avocados, to which I am now addicted
  • My apartment. Never again will I have such a grand view.
  • Alfajores (delicious cookies with dulce de leche)
  • Sunday afternoon walks when everything is closed and the city is quiet
  • Comfortable beds. I have no idea what it is, but every bed I've ever slept in in Chile has been ridiculously comfortable. My bed at Nora's and my bed here at the apartment are like clouds with headboards.
  • The excited feeling I still get when I look at a map of the world and see that I'm at the edge and bottom of it
  • Only paying $8 for a haircut

I can help you out with the cheap wine part. I know a lot of good ones that are under $7 that aren't Yellow Tail. Maybe I can even learn to make those cookies, although inevitably not as well as the Chileans. Good luck on the apartment with a view and cheap haircuts though! Also, I need you to help me with the blog setup thing when you get back.

Well, at age 21, you could possibly have as good of a view sometimes in the future. Now, you are a little bit Chilean and will be forever. I predict you will return, at least for a visit, in the not too distant future. I trust this has been a unique, valuable, and enjoyable experience, and I rest assured you will have many more adventures in your future. G

Yes, what a year,huh? I have so enjoyed following your adventure. The only thing I can help you with is suggesting that you purchase a memory foam mattress topper when you return. They are wonderful. Can't wait to see you.....Shelia
