It' s hard to believe that this part of my life is finally coming to its close. I've had a great adventure and it's about time to move on with life back in the States. I've already faced probably my greatest moral dilemma, throwing toilet paper into the toilet. The toilets in Chile, like in the States have better plumbing and can handle the tp, which I occasionally remember to put there instead of the trash can. I'm enjoying my last couple days of international vacation. Yesterday we toured Chile's biggest winery and today we're heading out to some museums. Hope all is well and see you back in the States!

One Week Left
I´m now in Valparaiso, Chile at the beginning of my last week travelling. It´s hard to believe my time in Latin America is coming to an end and I´m already returning to the United States. I spent the last week touring around amazing scenery in the Salt Flats of Bolivia and the sand dunes and Valle de la Luna in Chile. Being in Chile is a good stepping off point back into US culture, the roads and paved and signed and even have emergency lanes, there´s no trash on the ground, and the prices are more than triple the prices in Bolivia.
