Chile to chilly

As Raul reminded me the other day, there is nothing much sadder than an out of date blog. It has been ages, and as usual, quiet blog times mean less than quiet real times, the past month has been quite busy.

Since the last bout of blogging, and my farewell to the hills, I have traded summer for winter, new for old and Spanish for French. So, I am afraid the days of mountain on the doorstep photies are over, no more commentary on the gringo life in Santiago, the good news is I will be able to share photies of my new home, Paris, and will do my bit to let you know what being a 'gringo' in France is all about.

It has been a month that needs more than a blog entry to get you up to date, so easier if the photos tell the tale...

















Bye bye Santiago, an especially beautiful day that turned up to say cheers.

















You have to get to see them at some stage, magic mountains!

















BBrrrrrrr
















Argentina in the distance, miles and miles of patchwork farms.
















The fairest cape of them all, the one of good hope...
















The reward for a little pedalling.

Camps bay beach

Night time from Pont Neuf
















Christmas = more lights in the city of lights






















Looking towards Place Vendome from the Opera.

I will miss Chile, my good friends there and of course the beautiful scenery, but there are some things in life that you just have to do, what a pleasure. I look forward to sharing my new adventures.
