A Big Loss

I have lost many things on this trip. The worst to this point was a memory card with pics from Bolivia, Brazil, and Buenos Aires. Fortunately I had taken some of the more significant pics and put then on a flash drive already so they could be uploaded to the blog.

But I have just discovered the biggest loss to date. And only two days shy of me leaving South America. I have lost my notebook. It`s the notebook I have all my spanish notes in. It also has all the contact info for people I have met along the way. But most importantly, it had a journal entry and notes for every single day of my trip. I have no functioning memory so this notebook was very important. Unfortunately this also means I have nothing to look back at when trying to write stories after Bolivia.

Technically ìt`s not lost. I know exactly where it is. OR at least was. I left it in an internet cafe in Mendoza the morning I arrived after a night of no sleep. Just in case I have emailed a friend I met traveling that was staying there when I was. That`s a long shot though...

I am bummed.

Hopefully your friend pulls through with the notebook. Where are you watching the game on sat?

Probably at the Ugly Mug on 8th Street.

I`m checking my email often to see if he does...
