day 1: quick dry fashionista

i realize as we get off the plane that i’m a ridiculous rei commercial: rei quick-dry pants, rei quick-dry shirt, rei one jacket. i know i decided to eschew fashion in favor of functionality on this trip, but this is ridiculous. oh, and did i mention my rei travel duffel that i borrowed from wanda? also, how do you avoid matching with the wife if you both have the same gear? we could potentially end up both wearing the same jackets and waterproof hats. it’s hard enough to find good gear: do we have to find two brands of each thing so we don’t look dorky in that way as well?

hahaha i realize later that when i got money out at the airport, as i selected the second highest denomination of 8000c, it only turned to be $16. well, that’s not useful. fortunately the taxi driver taking us back from the restaurant that evening understood when i said, “…y necesito un cajero automatico.”
