We miss:
The radio selection, or at least Jo does. All late 80′s, early 90′s like Phil Collins. At loud volume. Sweeeeeet.
Cheap and abundant advocados.
Speaking Spanish.
Cheap street food.
Cheap Chilean box wine
The boulders at La Serena
Cheap lodging
James misses toying with street vendors….aka practicing his Spanish.
The dramatic scenery.
Pollo (chicken) broasters (eateries)
What we don’t miss:
Totallly BS excuses for a hot shower
The inability to operate a speaker at anything less than maximum volume
Not being able to throw TP into the toilet.
Not having to carry TP everywhere.
Bus rides with drivers that pass while driving uphill, in the rain, in the dark, on a mountain side, in the outside lane. Or more succinctly said by James, any ride in South America.
Not having people understand us….it rarely happened, but whenever it did, it was fustrating.
The lack of O2 at high altitude
People’s lack of comprehension about line formation.
Coffee fail after coffee fail.
