Here's the plan: I'm going to fight apathy and win. I can't do it on my own. I need you, my projected audience, to do this. For whatever reason, I can do things I would otherwise be incapable of doing if I decide to write about them. For the past two weeks, my desire to "see" Santiago and greater Chile has been about zero. Maybe it's a kind of zen beyond-ness. I suspect it's something more insidious, something that rhymes with laziness. I could let laziness win, but then I'd have to explain to people that I didn't do anything in Chile, and just sat inside playing internet chess and listening to pod casts. That sounds pretty shameful to me. Maybe all I want is for the story of my life to be a little bit more interesting. I think I'm ok with that. I'm going to go out. I'm going to explore, and put myself in difficult, uncomfortable situations. I'm going to take pump Santiago's sweaty palm and say "Mucho gusto."
Week 1
Monday: Haircut (an activity in and of itself)
Tuesday: Pablo Neruda's house
Wednesday: Book shopping
Thursday: Centro
Friday: Quinta normal
This is a rough outline. But it is a start.
