Tío, tal vez ya no esté con nosotros en vida pero su alegría, sus canciones, y sus recuerdos harán eco por siempre en el cerro y todo Jamay. So, I learned to ski this season AND I went on my first backcountry tour. 30 🥳, not flirty 😭 (because COVID), but freakin’ thriving. 💁🏽‍♀️ It’s kinda wild how some folks are all #BelieveWomen until it’s time to believe women. My birthdays tend to come with a stroke of good luck. Whether it’s a storm clearing after not being able to fly out of Lukla for 4 days due to Himalayan weather, missing a shuttle to the narrows in Zion and avoiding flash flooding, to submitting my master’s thesis for publication and having it accepted. There is a tremendous amount of grief across the country right now. I can probably climb one of these, right? Right? Eventually? 🥺 My old Chile @lonelyplanet is somewhere in my parents’ garage along with my college textbooks.
