Por Fin

So this is it. Today I´ll soak up what´s left of Lima, enjoy my last vistas on our neighbor continent, then bam, just like it started, it will end. I wish I could make it out to be some epic finale to this trip, but it´s just a flight. I´ll leave just like I came, just with less stuff and worlds of new knowledge and experience. I had so much fun the last few months I could throw up. From the center of the center of Mexico, to Rio´s carnaval, to my purgatory in Corrientes, my taxi in Buenos Aires and all the rich experiences that city imparted, to wine country, to Bolivia´s extraterrestrial landscapes, and Machu Picchu, and now, finally ending on the Pacific coast in this highrise suite. And like that, it´s over! I´ve seen so many unbelievable places and things, but the people I´ve met are the real story, and the inspiring affirmation that this was a worthy way to spend the past 4 months of my life. If I could do it all over again, I wouldn´t change a thing... well I would have brought more money, but other than that, nothing, haha. In fact, I want to do it all over again. I have a massive next-time list of things I didn´t have the time or money to see, and people I would love to see again. Can´t even begin to start digesting little life lessons I´ve learned along the way, but I think I definitely came out of this whole thing a hell of a lot more rounded and stable than I was when I left, with more of a thirst to just appreciate what is and not wish for what was or could be, and maybe with a lot more love in my heart for people in general. That last one´s a tough thing to say though, I´ll wait it out and see if the feeling lasts.

On Lima anyway, it´s really cool. We found us some trouble on Thursday night and consequentially spent most of Friday in bed, but it was a good time. I have to leave kinda early for my flight tomorrow, but it´s Saturday night and the diva inside of me can´t really be contained. That´s one thing that I still think is so cool about flying... tonight I party in Lima, tomorrow night I party in Atlanta, just like that. Continent-hopping. I´m really excited to get home and be with my family again, I missed them. I really miss New york too, and really can´t wait to get back into my life there, blazing some kind of trail leading to I don´t know where, but at least it´s my own. As soon as I get back... shit, already, I´m just thinking about how I´m getting to Brazil again. Too bad my entire family is gone right now, literally. I was hoping for some sort of red carpet to be rolled out, and going to a 20-person dinner at nani and papa´s but I guess no one really cares. Hahaha. Kidding kidding, they´ll be back but i´m still being a little biatch about it.

Alright, well that´s all, folks. Thank you South America, for showing me a great time and giving me some crazy shit I´ll never forget!
