This was an 8 month overland extravaganza - from Peru, working around in a loop to Venezuela via Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil. Some was on GAP Adventures trips, other sections were independent - our biggest trip yet! Highlight was Melissa getting to visit her Uruguayan host family, from her year as an AFS exchange student in 1987 - the first time we'd been together in 21 years! (Also a fabulous 4 days in LA on the way home, shop away!)

Moving Day

March 17, 2008

Exciting day today, moved into our new home for the next month. Met our landlady at 9.30am (and the ContactChile representative) to check everything over and get the keys. The flat is small, but will be fine for us. Only downside is no cable TV so no English news for a month! The Simpsons in Spanish is pretty funny though! The flat was not very clean, and the pots and pans and cutlery were very grotty, so spent the first day cleaning and washing. Also did a trip to the supermarket to stock up, which was quite fun. Cooked a meal tonight for the first time in 42 days, even if it was just pesto spaghetti, it tasted great none-the-less!
