Patch here, bi/tri-weekly transmission currently being transmitted from Concepcion de Chile in the cute room Spencer has lived in for the past I don´t know how long. He´s asleep on the bed next to me with Mama K nestled quietly under his arm. His feet can be smelled from over here and speaking of feet, mine are swollen and look like elephant feet. I´m known for my cankles but man if you could see them now. My whole leg from my calf on down is swollen. Both of em.

The three of us spent some time on a tourist-swept beach in La Serena. Camping was expensive in compared to the rest of South America ($6US compared to $1 or 2US) but we had running water, a barbecue space and a picnic table. Nights were passed with plenty of pisco and choripan, so I was plenty pleased. Throw in beers on the beach with babes in bikinis and vacation really starts to feel like vacation.

Three or four horrible movies later we´re here, planning to go to Spencer´s host family´s campo house later on. They leave Friday and from there I have another week or two to roam around. And although I would like more beach, the prices here are killing me and I might make my way back into Argentina.

Do not see: Evan Almighty, The Condemned, the new Robin Williams movie with that one singer and the guy from the American Office about getting married and ish. These movies are not good.

Meanwhile, pick up What is the What by Dave Eggers. I wasn´t crazy about his other books but this one is worth reading.

A little over a month and ma and pops come to visit me. I really can´t wait. That sentence looks pretty boring and does not convey the excitement that I really do have inside. But I don´t like exclamation points much and therefore dont use em. You´ll just have to believe me.

Over and out.
