From Lima, Peru
I think that the airport in Santiago is just bad luck for me. If you will remember, when I first arrived I had an incident with my passport. Well, this time, I kept my passport around my neck so as to not have any problems. And when I was at home, I carefully stowed my Chilean identification card in a safe place because I thought I wouldn´t need it and didn´t want to lose it while out of the country.Unfortunately- they wouldn´t let me fly without it! So, I got to pay 20.000 pesos (about $28) in order to go all the way home and back (hour and a half) in order to get it. I literally walked on to my international flight. I can´t believe that I made it. If I wouldn´t have made the flight, I would have lost the price of the flight because it was non-refundable. That would have sucked.
But I made it- and I am writing from the airport in Lima where I have to wait six hours for my flight to Cuzco where my friend Mark will meet me at the airport. Right now, I am already sick with a pretty nasty head cold and an infection in one of my nose piercings. Luckily the pharmacies are open 24 hrs and dispense every imaginable type of medicine, so I am armed with an antibiotic for the sinus and topical cream for the nose.
Well, I have no clue what is in store for me this week- besides studying. I brought a lot with me and I swear I am going to get it done. Really. I have no choice.
