First step.

A foreshadowing image of the adventure that awaits us; 
Marielle, myself and South America, taken two years ago.






Here I am sitting on my comfy couch, in my cozy home, in this common city, with a very content belly full of pho, and yet the butterflies start to quiver, even flutter and flap inside of me. Reason being, that tomorrow I am leaving for South America for a good chunk of time. Time otherwise, spent working at the hospital, visiting with my few close compadres that I have come to adore since moving to this community. Maybe that's why I chose to go, rather than move again; my restless feet, have a tendency of taking me to different places when I feel too comfortable; since life apparently begins at the end of that zone. The main objective: meet cool people, eat new things, have some amazingly life-altering experiences and have some fun along the way. I don't know exactly where I'll end up, or how I'll get there, or how I will converse, or what I'm eating.....but I'm sure it will be a journey to say the least. So my bag is packed, I'm ready to go...
