Chile

It's 6:10 am right now in Santiago and I have a half hour to kill before my shuttle picks me up from the Hotel Americano to go back to the airport for my Antofagasta flight. Despite a really crappy bed and lots of party noise from the Friday night festivities drifting up through the window, a little self-induced dreaming afforded me a few hours of sleep. Although I would like to think that this raw throat is because I slept with my mouth open, I may be getting sick. There was a weird Australian kid next to me on the flight yesterday that was coughing up a storm.
This city is apparently very cool and very rich with culture and night life. It's a shame I was only here for a few hours of restless sleep. Maybe I'll come back someday for the full experience. I'm definitely enjoying the peace time right now before another day packed with activity. Although I'm SUPER stoked to be meeting up with the guys today!
It's weird to think that I'm sitting in Chile. Too bad I've only seen the inside of an airport, the inside of a van, and the insides of a hostel. And that's all I am going to see of Santiago. But hey, whatever. Gotta jam and catch my ride soon. Hopefully there's some good breakfast food at the Santiago airport while I wait for up to two hours.

Until the next post from Antofagasta, much love,
Brad
