After a week, I guess a frustrating day was due. I got lost BOTH WAYS walking from the bus stop today, WITH A DETAILED MAP. Its like, 4 blocks (the right way). If you tried to find Greenwich Village with me, maybe this isn´t surprising, but I swear, I´ve been here a week and my direction has never been this bad before. I can do Ireland´s back roads, I did NoVA without a real map...for most of the day I conflated my hopelessly lost feeling with my lack of access to Metro/car. But then I thought- I´ve never ever been to the Southern Hemisphere before, eh? The feng shui is different, and microbes need to adjust, so I can be justifiably disoriented too. I suppose its debatable. But I feel like I´m in an urban Wonderland in the meantime.
Right. So Andryka and I took the bus, which brought us in the general area of DRCLAS- and we had to walk some and sprint across 6 lanes of traffic to get there. Definitely took the taxi back (it was dark anyway) and my goodness I miss the metro. Even the T. Even, almost the green line. Almost.
One more frustration of the day. How come studying gov means an internship at the CEPAL, and studying history, cultural 20th century, garners suggestions of the Museo Precolumbino and "working with children?". Anyone know any Santiago organizations a bit closer to the mark?
