One Phat Phil

Tomorrow is my LAST DAY OF VOLUNTEERING. After three months of working for free (unless you count the good feeling of saving the world as payment) (just kidding) (kinda) (can altruism really exist?), I will finally end the thing.

Anyway, I've been teaching English at a university here in Viña del Mar, and it's been crazy fun. The students (who are mostly all older than me), gave me a billion recommendations on food, drink, and things to see here. One of the things they said I HAD to do was to eat a "completo." See below for a belly-ache-inspiring picture. It's also been refreshing being able to have real conversations with adults about interesting topics rather than discussing the Jonas Brothers and politely asking kids not to put dirt in my hair.

My family is coming to Santiago on Saturday morning and I am beyond excited. I'll never speak Spanish againnnnnnnnn!
Just kidding, I will. But I could use a descanso.

******The MS Walk is coming up, and my good friend Brian is raising money for it. If you can spare some dough, http://main.nationalmssociety.org/site/TR?px=3170865&pg=personal&fr_id=10510 for a good cause.

You were right about the stars, each one is a _______ ___.

Sunset, south pacific, edge of the world, Earth

This is a Completo. What you're looking at is mayo, guac, tomatoes, over a hotdog. I ate about a third of it, then stopped for fear of another just-mayo bite.
