Man oh man, what a rich experience this has been. Closing down now I will be returning home in about two weeks and I have no idea how I feel about that or anything else for that matter. I am super relaxed and with my brother and mom now in Buenes Aires(Good air) and man is it ever nice here. It is a super trendy European type city with lots of style and sensuality. Yesterday, in an effort to better fit in, I went and bought some super nice lenin pants and a shirt, it was quite fun. The guy in the store was trying to hook me up with the full get up right down to those funny looking European/Golf type shoes and a leather jacket as well, I just stuck with a belt, shirt, and some pants. Anyways I arrived here a couple days ago via a two day bus ride from Pucon, Chile, got to see some nice country. Bye now you probably know my opinion about Peru but damn oh damn Chile, Argentina little more expensive but good and fun in a different way. Nothing here or anywhere in the world should be nay-sayed or compared. It is not possible to say one experience or place is better than another, but it is possible to just let your self be and experience all, and probably accumulating preferences along the way, in this way you can share with people your experince giving them stories and knowledge without bias and allowing them to go do their own exploring. Open aired and open minded this city Buenes Aires is one of the most impressive cities I have ever visited, and I usually don´t like cities that much. Tonight me and my brother are gonna go out on the town with a couple of his friends, that is after we go eat at the best steak house in town, the steaks here are said to be the best in the world. Should be a good time.
Since I have left Peru I have not stopped talking about it although I am still in South America I miss Peru greatly, I chat Peru up with any person that´s willing. Well to my surprise I am also doing the same about Chile now. It was such a calm tranquil place with some of the nicest people I have ever met. When I was in Chile I ended up staying with Ben, a gringo that owns a small kayak shop and guide service in Pucon Chile,
http://www.kayakchile.net/ , he was a super nice guy and took me kayaking a lot and even gave me work. He just recently brought property not far outside of pucon along side the palguen river, that is the river featured in all the pictures below this entry, the one with the nice waterfalls. Well he bought the land on the river right side from from the 1st waterfall down to the 3rd waterfall and this allows him to put-in on one of the most fun runs in chile from his back yard, pretty damn sick. Well the point of this story is that he hired me, because of my love of working with and carving wood, to build a super natural low damage to the environment trail along side the waterfalls, it was some of the funnest and most beautiful work I have ever done. It involved little bridges and staircases all made from natrual materials found on the site, excluding nails, it was awesome. More pictures of my travels will be coming soon, and when I get back to the states I will do a full trip recap with a bunch of pics. I guess that´s what I got for now look forward to seeing y´all and talking soon.
chou, nate
