Santiago, mon amour

I recently went to visit some friends in Santiago. What a lovely trip! Santiago is a big city, great for walking. The first thing that struck me was how cars actually stop for you when you cross the street. After nearly being crushed on a few occasions, I have learned in BA to be cautious, overly perhaps, so I couldn't figure out why cars would stop for me. I asked my friend Nicole and she simply said, oh, that's what they do here. Where was I??

I had a wonderful moment going to see a play at the contemporary art museum. Nicole's pololo (novio) Matius had produced a play and we were invited to a sneak peak. So there I was, sitting in a small room, in an old museum, in Santiago, Chile, and it hit me, how interesting life is. Who would think a year ago, even a few months ago that I would find myself there, with such a young, interesting group. The play was very good, though loooong. I'm afraid the last bit was lost on me as I simply thought of the yoga postures I wanted to be doing at that very moment. THEN came Act IV...but back pain goes away and memories linger.
