A Chilean Adventure

It’s refreshing to know that on my last full day in the U.S. I had time to really tie up the loose ends and do all the things that I kept putting off. I just ran errands around Madison: made a small photo album of things that I can share with people I meet in Chile, bought a headset to use with Skype, finally bought my bus ticket to the O’Hare airport, bought some chapstick with SPF 30, etc.

Mike and I will be going to eat soon with some friends of ours. It should be fun to hang out and talk and not think too much about how much we’ll miss each other.

One more thought: we had a mild winter so far until the weekend before I’m leaving. It’s so cold that most of the schools in northeast Wisconsin are closed today. It seems like that’s pretty nasty. Mike says that it’s actually good because it’ll make me more thankful that I get to go somewhere warm. I like his outlook better.
