July

Helllllo all,
I can hardly believe I have waited all of 13 days before reflecting on the month of July.
Now: Using a friends computer to write these last few clicks while the sounds, smells and sights of Valpara{iso, Chile are a mi aldredor. (around me).
This month: When it came, I knew it would be really cu{atico. Starting in Chile, and ending in Colorado. HOW CRAZY!?!?!? But, igual it started off nice, I think I even went for a run the first day of July. I had a party on the 3rd, Saturday, that ended up really well, and lead into a surprisingly pleasaant and rainy 4th of July, complete with beers, bbqs friends and everything the 4th of July should be. My Mexican friend Mario hosted it for all of this friends from the US so that we could savour a little of our patriotism, and share delicious bbqed veggies and meats with people from France, USA, Mexico and various other places as well.
I Love: The diversity of the cultures here. I have truly met people from ALL over Europe, South Central and North America, Australia....And it is beautiful. Parties and streets are filled with different lenguas.
Today:I opened my wndow to find Portuguese speaking people passing by my street, and realized how normal it is for me to see people from all parts of the world, speaking in all different languages passing by. ( I live in a pretty "touristy" cerro anyways.)
VALPO: Is a beautiful, stressful, dirty, hectic, crazy, wonderful, inspiring, suffocating, surprising, stimulating, buzzing, shocking, colorful, hilly, stair-y, scary (ony because it rhymes with "stair-y")crazy mothafuckin place.
And: I love it, and will miss its energy.
ME VOY: now, but never, really. Valpo will always be here, always stay with me. and ONE DAY
ONE DAY: I will come back, I will see more of this and many other places, I will migrate de nuevo.
This MAY be my last entry while Im in Chile, but I doubt it will be my last one overall. I have a lot more to say, and have been pleased with the responsiveness of this blog, and the freedom of (somewhat annonymous) expression it has alowed. Thanks for reading, but know that beyond words, there are stories.
Love and chau,
Celine
