i've been abroad for 3 months and 17 days. or something like that. that's a pretty long time. as y'all might remember, i agreed to this trip not a week after i flew out of africa last fall. i didn't know what i was gonna do that next week, much less next month or year, so when alyssa asked i said,"well, duh, of course i'm going with you."
since then i've logged dozens of hours on international busses, some good and some, well, i'm still alive anyways. it's been three months of new people, foods, experiences and all the incredible bits that come with a trip like this. and now its time to come home.
i've decided to cut the trip short by a few weeks and get back to nebraska. it's funny. despite carnivale in panama, the jungles of ecuador and even machu picchu right now i'm excited about buying lamps for an apartment and getting a job.
i know. i know. i used to be cool. i don't know what happened either.
so i'm gonna hang around northern argentina for a bit more. eat some steak, buy a suit in buenos aires, maybe visit a big ass waterfall and then next wednesday i'm flying to toledo, chicago and finally home sweet home.
it's been a helluva trip, but i'm really excited to see everyone back home. so angela, get my knife wrapped up, mom and dad, get excited about quinua soup and chile rellenos, and have no fear karly; i'll be home in time for your birthday.

Woops! Jared and I (kim) are excited. Maybe you figured that out.
I'll getting old and uncool, too, and it's not all bad. I miss you, and I'm sorry I'm moving away from Madison for a while. Someday we'll be roommates or neighbors in liberal heaven. don't stop believin'.
Despite how old and uncool you are, I'm pretty excited to meet the famous Kris Kolden this summer. Pretty excited, indeed.
