Black Sheep

Andrew´s burnt. Pete´s run out of clean underwear. I´ve stopped shaving already. The fridge in the cabin we´re renting contains 2 cans of beer and 1 leftover sausage. And last night we were the guests of honour at a beach party hosted by a large group of 17-18 year old local kids who call their posse "Black Sheep". Yea, it feels pretty good to be on the road again.

Some random stuff:

We were standing on a bus a couple of days ago and a clown got on. For those who don´t know, I am terrified of clowns. Anyways, the clown and this other lady started performing some skit and afterwards were asking around for tips. I couldn´t even look at the clown and he kept tapping me on my shoulder, freaking the hell out of me (Pete and Andrew meanwhile were pissing themselves laughing). I ended up just getting off the bus. Damn clowns.

In Valparaiso (and I´m guessing in many parts down here), there are gangs of wild dogs. It´s pretty crazy watching them at night. They all congregate and move around in a pack, barking voraciously and practically summoning more dogs from out of the shadows to join them. I haven´t been attacked yet but I have stepped in doggy doo...twice. Damn dogs.

We stayed with a family in Valparaiso. Their 6 year old daughter Sofia is incredibly extraverted and social. Anyways, we were just lounging in their yard taking photos and she became fascinated with my camera. I let her play with it and 20 minutes and 150 photos later, she had quite the collection to show. It´s really neat seeing photographs from a child´s perspective. Their height and inability to hold a camera straight makes for some really fascinating shots. As soon as I get a chance, I´m gonna post some of her photos. I reckon they are more interesting than mine so far.

Currently in Pichilemu, Chile.
