Back in Santiago

The new year has begun, the book of 2014 is still in its introductory phase and the vast pages of adventures yet to come. After a wonderful Christmas holiday with my family back in Sweden, I am back in Santiago to prepare for my trip down to La Patagonia. Although it is very exciting to be back, there are a few things I´m already struggling with.

Very much like Buenos Aires (Argentina), there is an enourmous heat wave that stays in this city for the better part of the summer. Unlike Montevideo (Uruguay), there is no beach or water to cool off. I think at this point, I´d prefer the cold weather in Sweden.

I learned from a friend that there is a beer festival in Santiago starting in a few days. As if that would not be enough, there is also a Jazz event that will be open for a few days. My original plan was to touch down, get my things ready, and get the #$%& out of dodge. But...

..it looks like I can take a few days to deal with my troubled back, make the needed purchases, and enjoy some of the summer festivities here in Santiago before I head south! I will keep you posted on my ideas for the trip.
