Well, it's the last day of 2010. Guess that means it's time for a recap and an update of the months that I've not written anything here. I started my new job in Savannah at the end of March...right after the big St. Patrick's Day parade and celebration ... Read more >

So, after my Peru journey, I was in a wedding in Atlanta and had Christmas with my parents and brother in Tupelo. Then, it was off to North Carolina to visit family and go snow tubing. After that, I decided to spend the next month or so in Texas, thanks ... Read more >

So, back in Cusco, I search for a volunteer opportunity. I find one that fits me at Yanapay. Most mornings, I spend at the police station working with the children that are there. Some are there because of their parents or because they have no where ... Read more >

So, as it turns out, the one time that I didn`t take the usual precautions, something went wrong. You would think that your purse would be safe while on your chair in the back corner of a restaurant with mirrors on the walls at a table with three guys ... Read more >

I finally got up some photos. Since Abancay, I´ve spent a few more days in Cusco, went to a birthday party, went out dancing, and said hasta luego to the city. Leaving was a sad day. But, I met new friends in Puno, and toured the islands of Uros (the ... Read more >

Wednesday, Darcy and I left after lunch for Abancay...a city of 100,000 about 3.5 hours west of Cusco. It´s where he grew up. First, we caught a car with a mom and two little girls for the first two hours of the trip there. Analia is 8 years old and ... Read more >

So, I´m doing really well at keeping up with this novela (soap opera) called Al Fondo Hay Sitio. Some days I understand more than others, but it´s still funny because it´s so over-acted! Monday nights at 8:00, and if you miss it, check it out on Tuesday, ... Read more >

Basically, it´s crazy. The roads in cities are usually paved, at least the major ones, unless they´re stone. Some highways are paved, but a majority of the roads I´ve been on are dirt. Still better than some of the ones I drove on in Costa Rica though! One ... Read more >
