So what is it like being back? My first observations being back in Chile at 11:30pm at night: the lights at the Punta Arenas airport seemed so bright (which is a super-small airport, but the few lights they had looked like SO many)… the complete darkness of the night seemed super dark… the color green of trees and grass is brighter than ever… and smooth, solid pavement to walk on that seemed like a soft fluffy cloud that you didn’t have to worry about sinking into!
Another feeling that we all had: It’s amazing being back and not having to worry about hearing “pasada mañana” (translation: “I will tell you tomorrow, or maybe the day after tomorrow if it will work, but you still won’t really know.”) No more “pasada mañana!” Transport, accommodation, food – it’s all up to us, and no waiting for someone to decide whether we go or stay, or what we do!
