One of the three times I’ve left my cabana today, which would be all of fifty steps taken total outside maximum and I stepped in shit. Besides that I’m sick. But I’m in South America and you’re not! Ohhhhhh! Snap.

After breakfast my house mother drugged me and then woke me up hours later so that I could lunch with her guest, and step in dog shit.

The woman uses a bell to signal when Ana can come in and take the dishes and bring the next course. She loved having me there as her little pet. I’m not sure how good of company I was considering I was delirious and journaling my suspicions at the table. Hey, you’re reading them.

I will buy their Las Alturas de Machu Pichu DVD, but the 70’s Folk (Mapuche) Rock group Jaivas is worth downloading. Look for the song “Todos Juntos,” and listen for unique instruments. A PhD in History candidate spoke to us on Friday about the evolution of music in Chile from 1965-2000. He came prepared with timelines and CDs and a lot of energy. Jaivas.

OK so I spent all day building a whole new gallery. This one is going to stick! I added a few more photos and may have dropped some by accident. I will add by request, as always.

We found a Chess Club in the Yellow Book today. I’m tryna’ check that out on Monday, yo. I am not interested in playing pool in this country again. This’ll be more rewarding anyhow.

Season Finale of LOST tonight starts right now. Private broadcast.
