Tomorrow starts a new adventure of sorts. It means a job for me but will also be like a halftime show. As one might imagine, after traveling for three years throughout Latin America, I need one of those job thingies if I want to see more of the world. And it is a job... actual work awaits me in my next destination. As I write this, I am in my new location and it's quite clear my time on the internet is going to be quite limited... so here's just some photos from ...

Back in Naples, Florida... I have come full circle ... returning to my exact departure point before flying to Mexico three years ago. And as I sit here writing this entry to try and capture what it feels like to be home, my mind is blank.

The Atacama Desert.... the driest desert on the planet sits right here in northern Chile, where I am now. It's so barren and with so much nothingness, I haven't decided yet if I will bother to take a photo of it or not. There doesn´t appear to be a single plant anywhere.
