Machu Picchu!!!

There is not enough time in the world to do amazing things and then write about it. And even if you do have time, the writing won´t do it justice. Having said that, I did something AMAZING this Saturday! After lusting over the idea for a very long time, Amy and I finally saw Machu Picchu! ...

Death, combi-style

So, today is my fourth day of Spanish classes and so far immersion has been really tough. I struggled with the oral communication part of French in high school and tried to avoid talking as much as possible. Now with Spanish, I have no choice. Very few people here speak more than a smattering...

Cake

I feel like I´ve been here a couple weeks rather than five days, mostly because I´ve learned so much since I´ve gotten here. The first night after meeting my host family and eating dinner with the other students, Brittany invited Amy and I out to meet some of her friends at the Plaza de Armas...

Can we eat it?!

So, thus far I have described my chaotic pre-plane mouth cancer adventure. Now for the flights themselves. Fortunately, I have this uncanny ability to sleep on planes (no doubt obtained from 4 years of flying back and forth between New York and California)...therefore, I was asleep the vast...

Chop it OFF!

Hello everyone! So, welcome to the first entry of my travel blog for my adventure in Peru (other adventures will follow soon as well, I am sure). This is the first time I´ve had access to a computer since I got here so bear with me while I try to remember all of the details of my trip so...

Olas y más Olas en Máncora

Los peruanos y las guías de viaje coinciden en que las Playas de Máncora son las mejores de todo el Perú. Si, no están mal, pero no son muy aptas para el baño (como las del Mediterráneo…) ya que las olas, el viento y los surfistas te engullen bajo el agua. Así que ya que aparte de surfear uno...

La Cultura Chachapoyas

Chachapoyas, con este nombre teníamos que venir… Y por fin se rompe nuestra teoría del caos de que cuanto más divertido es el nombre de una población más fea es ésta (ej.: Tipitapa en Nicaragua o Pitalito en Colombia)… Chachapoyas es linda, y está ubicada en medio de montañas selváticas,...

Tarapoto, donde acaban los Andes y comienza la selva

Queríamos regresar a un lugar de selva, y Tarapoto parecía un buen lugar. La verdad es que los paisajes de los alrededores son únicos ya que comienza la selva de la cuenca amazónica a medida que los andes van llegando a su fin. Como en toda ciudad calurosa, los mototaxis inundan sus calles....

Starbucks me up a big one

This is going to be a mini-entry because Lima was pretty much just a city and our visit was fairly tame, so for once you won´t have to trawl through loads of waffle, hilaaaarious anecdotes or toilet chat. Obviously our geography isn´t up to scratch because we were pleasantly surprised to find...

Un dia gris en una ciudad gris

Lima no nos dijo mucho, por lo que tampoco tenemos mucho que decir de ella. Mucho tráfico, mucha gente, pero con poco encanto. Tiene playa pero el clima no la acompaña, bueno quizá será porque aquí estamos llegando al invierno… Así que intentamos buscarle un poco de color… Primero nos...
