You got to go steal ahead

Leaving San Pedro was not wise at all.
Rachel, we´re very sorry but Antofagasta did not treat us right.
We thank the empanadas at Florencia´s for helping us through our day of darkness.

La Serena was chill. We stayed in a Casa de Huespedes run by five single women, all the other patrons were males, it could have been brothel.
So we did what anyone would in a brothel; we played with the kittens (Nelson, Principe and Badeye) and drank wine.
There was also a little girl living there that hated Ally. She liked to creep out into the hallways late at night and yell at her in Spanish, we named her the Chilean Shinning twin.
The city itself was chill, a lot of lounging and one run in with a couple really dirty gypsys that tried to steal our ciggarettes.

Now we´re in Valparaiso.
HELLO WORLD.
We celebrated Halloween in an old piano bar last night. The mood was solid annd legit there, it was the type of joint that makes you react. I defy any person who drinks or eats meat to try and not a order a steak and gin there.
Today we heard Radiohead and Cat Power playing at random nonmusical establishments.
And street art is ALIVE, someone here has realized the potential of all surfaces.
We sleep in a lime green house with a trapeze and leopard print chairs.

Valparaiso is basically what the wait has been about.
We've been needing a city like this.
The things you talk about when you're drunk and excited about life are actually tangible here.
Come to Valparaiso and tell me you've been doing enough to live............................

So with that said,
we plan to stay a while.


Time ain't gonna cure you honey
Time's just gonna hit on you
Time ain't gonna cure you honey
Time don't give a shit.
You got to go steal ahead
