Ahh! Three holes in my nose!

yesterday: my first ever soccer game! peru vs. chile... and chile won, so everyone was happy.



we spent another day wandering santiago. we searched everywhere for light, cheap, good, small but not too small tents. we spent the morning in a huge mall where alex finally got his starbucks-fix, and we finally found the perfect combination of tents.





sm has wanted a tattoo forever, and we found out a good place to get tattoos done safely but cheaply, so we set off looking for it. it had moved, so it took us aaages to find it, but we finally did. sm decided to get her tattoo done right away, and ive wanted to get my nose pierced for about 7 years now, and since they proclaimed to be experts at this as well, i now have three holes in my nose!! and almost fainted in the process... the set up was slightly questionable, since he stuck a needle and tube in my nose and THEN started looking for the scissors with which to cut off the needle part... and left me sitting there, white as a ghost and sweating and with my eyes closed... but i survived it! and its sooo pretty.
and sm has a beautiful self-designed lotus tattoo... yaaaay :)





exciting exciting day!

this morning we left to valparaiso:



a beautiful city by the ocean, with amazing colourful houses, lots of stray dogs, beautiful hills, an amazing mix of strange architecture, and good food. were staying in a beatiful little hostel: with our own house, own bathroom, beautiful colourful walls, own kitchen, and artwork hanging everywhere that nelly (the owner) has painted herself. were some happy happy wellfed backpackers :)





im hoping to upload pictures in the next couple of days, so you can see the beautiful houses, and the ocean, and the mountains, and eeeeevvveeeerything. (and i DID it :)...)
