On the plane ride home I ended up writing it, so it all worked out. ]]> Wed, 28 Nov 2012 21:55:00 -0500 13663 2012-11-28 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_chile-1-of-7-1354139717.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_chile-4-of-7-1354139718.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_chile-6-of-7-1354139718.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_chile-2-of-7-1354139718.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_chile-5-of-7-1354139718.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_chile-7-of-7-1354139718.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_chile-3-of-7-1354139718.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13623-pan-american-games-2012-francesca-metcalf http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13623-pan-american-games-2012-francesca-metcalf I just got back to the USA from spending a few days in San Juan de los Morros in Venezuela for the Adult Pan-American Games.
