bad news! no more photos for you

july 3

i’m 95% sure my camera was stolen during my transit from areco back to buenos aires.  and the only time that it could have been taken is…well never…because i’m super vigilant and make sure never to stand close to someone or sit next to someone and my pockets have buttons and i wear my backpack on my belly.  but it’s gone!  so….good!  no more photographs.  luckily i wasn’t crazy about any of the photos i took this weekend, but some of them were nice.  i had some interesting pictures of peanuts.  and a super cute puppy.  and alyson.  i’m angry because i’m so careful and yet it wasnt enough.  and also someone put their hand in my pocket!  what the hell.  and just two days ago i had said i was really proud that lots of people i know have had things taken from them and nothing had been taken from me.  my host dad says he has a feeling it will show up.  that would be nice. i wont lose hope yet.  but i dont think it’s going to turn up.  i hope that jerk likes my photographs!  and also that he uses the money he makes from it well!  i hope he uses it to buy broccoli for his children instead of cocaine for himself.
