Hola amigos, Apparently it's September. Bit of a shocker that one. I didn't see it coming to be honest (which is poor planning because for as long as I can remember it has always followed August). For some reason it has suddenly dawned on me that I left home a long time again. Why when planning this thing I couldn't't equate seven months with being what it is..a long time...I don't know.

I am now in Salta, northern Argentina and with so far being on the receiving end of only one pseudo friendly joke about "you stole our Malvinas" I think I am doing alright.

I l...

Hello, Here's my latest stream of ramblings inconsequential to your lives. If you think it doesn't make sense at any point you're proabably right. I'm not actually in Cairns, but don't let that bother you. I'm actually just putting my feet down in Christchurch, New Zealand.
