Feeling hot, hot, hot

I went for a walk around the centre of Santiago today. Busy, busy, busy. Santiago is a big city and I´ve seen about ten blocks of it. As well as busy, it´s incredibly hot here. I found myself going into department stores just to cool down. Admittedly the humidity isn´t as bad here as on Easter Island but I´m just not built for hot climates - and my hair, oh my poor hair. I'm seriously thinking of shaving it all off and starting again from scratch! I tried to buy a hat today (the one I bought in Temuco misteriously disappeared at Santiago bus station when I first arrived) but I couldn´t find anything that a) I liked and b) actually fit me. I know you all think I have a big head but when it comes to hats, not so much. My head is actually pear-shaped which is why a broad brim suits me but is also why most hats are too big.

Then, after a siesta (so vital in this heat) I went to an internet cafe and uploaded about half of my EI pictures. Go have a look. Eventually they will have descriptions and titles and everything you need to make sense of them. There might even be one of me with the Moai in there if you look carefully enough.

Tomorrow I buy my ticket to Mendoza and probably have another siesta. I love big cities but not when it´s hot!
