The day has finally arrived. I write this as I look over smoke like clouds with the sun
setting in the horizon. The next
time it appears, the northern hemisphere will be a thing of the past as
opposite flushing restrooms will boggle my mind. (Note I don’t actually believe this to be the case, this may
be another one of those old tales told to cause commotion and create curiosity with children.) I
began my journey 24 hours ago (probably a few days by the time this is posted)
in Reno before taking quick reprieve in the Bay Area. From there I headed north to my old stomping grounds in
Portland- presumably believing that the earth was flat, and like the game Snake
I would reappear over some cute Penguins in the South Pole before finally
settling. But now I fly a mere 120
miles from Dallas: the final stop before Santiago.
Here are a few thoughts as I leave the comforts of home and
the familiarity of--- well everything.
1. I am
fortunate to have wonderful friends and family members in my life who support
my unorthodox decisions.
2. Apparently I already messed up in calling the blog ElChileanDuck-
apparently it is Chileno for males and Chilena.
3. Since the winter was fairly mild I made the bright
decision that I didn’t get enough and wanted more- and thus will spend another
few months with tons of rain.
4. … What am I doing??? Oh well! Unless I spend the next 5 months in
Dallas faking posts and what not, I’m officially
5. “Leaving on a jet plane- don’t know when I’ll be back
again” but most likely will return end of August.
6. Come visit if you’d like, I have no idea where I’ll be…
if that isn’t in the cards, than at least stay in touch
