I{ve been in Santiago for}} a week now, and it{s been an interesting experience… not the least of which has been to disa}cover that the keyboards are very differentn in their layout over here.
For the rest of this entry, I’m going to try and use Stacey’s laptop, which I’m a little more used to.

It’s been a whole weekend without any tramping, and it’s starting to sink in that I’m flying out of here a week from now. I went into work for part of yesterday and this morning, because I couldn’t think of anything else to do. Then this afternoon, I walked home the long way, and found a new track through the town belt around the Newtown end of Mt Vic.
Well I’ve decided after yesterday’s walk that I might try to tone down the walking a bit again for a few days. I took my new trampey boots for a walk around the fence-line of the Karori Wildlife Sanctuary, being cautious not to get them too wet until I have a chance to waterproof them properly. They did okay, but I think they need more walking in. My knee also started aching a little again, particularly on the down-hill. This is getting really frustrating, but I guess it’s just something to put up with for a while. More time to practice Spanish and watch old Futurama episodes, I guess.
