Panqueque and me, originally uploaded by jdtaylor.

My new found friend in Chaiten Chile. You see about 6 weeks ago while I was sleeping a dog stole one of my sandals (Chacos) rendering the other one useless. So I disliked dogs, or as I prefer to call them, ´the squirrels of south america´ until about a week ago. Then cam along Turbo the Dog (no picture yet) who came on a long hike and guided us through the woods. Much smarter than Kaya who was my old dog, though she was pretty dumb. Turbo learned to retreive in 10 minutes, Kaya 10 months. So Turbo hung out then a few days later in a new town this little dog came along on an afternoon of wine tasting (cheap wine in the park). Panqueque was pretty smart but didn´t compare to Turbo, just a wee bit cuter. So dogs are o.k. again.
