Hola amigos! I got on my plane from Panama City fine although I pretty much fell asleep in the airport waiting on it. I was craving pizza and was very fortunate to get ravioli and bread (pretty much the same, right?) An Aggie in the mining business sat next to me and was a great resource. He was formally from Columbia and lives in Houston now commuting to northern Chile as necessary. I might meet up with him later if I travel north.
I am safe in Santiago, staying with Michelle´s family at their house a little north of the city. It is BEAUTIFUL here. You can see the Andes everywhere you go, and the climate is perfect to leave all the windows and doors open. Feels like paradise. The city is well planned and getting around took no time. Population is around 6 million, so it is in no way small. Everyone says Chile is the most European, and I can see where they get it from.
Tonight Michelle is taking me to a beach about an hour away. We plan to go out tonight and then lay out all day tomorrow... I told her it feels like my birthday!! Hopefully I do not get too sunburnt (we are close to a hole in the ozone layer), but I don´t think I´d really mind.
Love you all, more stories to come!

Your blog makes me happy. I miss you so much already.
That's super cool that you got to see Osmand while you were in Panama!
Be safe. Update often. I'm living vicariously through your adventures while I suffer through grad school!
Kel,
I miss you already and look forward to living vicariously through you as well...
& I have stories already for you that I know I would feel MUCH MUCH better about if I had you to bounce ideas off of :)
Hope you have an amazing time! Be safe, miss you, love you, and can't wait to hear all about the trip!
