An Emmerous Adventure

HOLA!!
I{m going to try to check the spelling before i send this one out, but it may be to no avail as I don{t understand exactly how to use this keyboard.
I{ll try to get all the happenings of the last couple of days in.
So, later that day in LA, after I updated, I decided to go and see a movie to pass the time. The two options were basically Pirates of the Carribean 3 or Ocean{s 13, I decided on Ocean{s 13 at Grauman{s chinese theatre (were they have the hand and feet imprints of movie stars, I took a picture of Brad Pitt{s for Siobhan). The movie was good, and it passed the time.
I also went into the Virgin Megastore nextdoor to do more passing of time. There was a whole lot of cool music and books. I almost bought a CD or two (Rodreigo and Gabriela and the Willowz) before I snapped out of it and remembered that I was travelling for 8 months with no CD player and I was returning to LA at the end. I also found out (and was greatly saddened by the fact that) Enrique Iglasis was doing an instore performance and signing the next day, when I was in transit. But I was strong and pulled myself away.

You know that movie where the guy haxs to escape from LA when it’s flooded and everyone is an Outlaw, then at the end they say “there was no virus”. Maybe somebody will know what I’m talking about, but anyway, my situation in LA is knida like that, I feel like if I stay here for two long the pollution will get into my body and I’ll die (not really).

So i’m in Hollywood, and i’m going to have to say it is surreal at best and the trashiest place I have ever been at worse. There’s all these people wandering around in movie character costumes and things like police and the accent make it seem a bit like I’ve jumped into the movies, but on the other hand, everything is less glossy, more smoggy and sort of half falling apart. It looks like everything was built at least 10 years ago and is now out of fashion, dirty and tarnished by pollution. Even the palm trees (and they’re everywhere) don’t look healthy.

SO, turns out, Fred and Kiraz, two friends of mine, are moving to Venezuala in July for a while. I feel I most definitly should go to see them, so add venezuala to the list. Proabably going to Brazil earlier rather than later now for transport reasons.
Everything is ready except travel insuerence and maleria tablets.
I leave 3 weeks today!

So I haven’t been very good at this…

– I’m leaving June 10th
-the plan is now Peru (Lima, Huancayo, Cusco, Pucullpa, Iquitos), Ecuador (Quito, Banos, Otavalo, Galapagos(!!!), Loja), Peru again (North coast, Nazca, Arequipa, Puno and Lake Titicaca). Bolivia (Copacabana, La Paz, Sucre and others), Brazil (Sao Paulo), Cuba (Havana and other places), Mexico (Mexico city, Oaxaca and all around) and the USA (San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Boston, NYC and maybe others like Montreal).
– planning to see some of my favourite bands in the USA and other places if possible.
– I have my ticket! (almost)
-Have been in contact with Erin, Marriana and Natalia and am planning to have some fun reunions.
– Don’t have a job at the moment… but i’m leaving in 6 weeks.
– I have the footprint guide to south america, and its my new crack.
– Quite a few people have offered to give me some contacts, so hopefully some of those will work out.

I’m going to sign off now because I’m actually writting a long e-mail to Sue-Lin in China.
Buenos Dias Amigos,
Tienes una buena semana (?)
