Gettin' yer herr did.
I really enjoy the mix of colors in this picture. It gives it a very Caribbean feel.
Update
Hey there, reader! I'm sorry. I know; I know. I've been away for a while, but I swear I have a good reason! Actually, I've got several:
- In December I got a new part-time job, working the Front Desk at a very cute and trendy apart-hotel, right here in Santiago! The name is Ameristar Apart-Hotel and, if you'll forgive the shameless plug, it's one of the best places to stay at during your visit to Santiago. It has comfortable accommodations, 24 hour staff assistance, and it is quite cost efficient. If you are ever planning a visit down here, let me know and I'd be happy to help you get around and arrange your stay.
- In February, this new part-time gig became a full-time one, thus leading to my early retirement from the field of English teaching. It has also affected the amount of free time I have, since the shift is 10 hours long. Trust me, it's not as bad as it sounds; The day pretty much flies by. Plus, I'm well compensated :)
- In March, my mother came down for a visit (which was fabulous, and those pictures will be up soon enough), and that took up no less than 2 weeks of my time. Yes, we had an incredible time. Yes, it was amazing spending time with her after almost 3 years of being apart. And yes, we kept it fierce.
- In April, I hosted some black lady friends from NYC. We were crazy, loud and ate loads of chicken. I'm not being racist; We ate A LOT of chicken.
- Now, in May, two other New Yorkers will be visiting Andre and I, so lord only knows how busy that all keep us. Plus, you've gotta remember, I party hard (which is time consuming as well).
So, that's more or less what's been going on. There is always some random adventure here and an unexpected twist of fate there, but everything is generally well. Life in Chile is great. Amazing friends; a wonderful boyfriend and home; a stimulating and well paying job.
I'm happy. Ridiculously so. What else could I possibly ask for?
