The short version for now: I got into Cusco around lunchtime on Monday and Darcy picked me up from the airport. I´m couch surfing with him, and he´s pretty awesome. He knows a tiny bit of English, but only speaks to me in Spanish, so I´m definitely ... Read more >

Wow! I´m a bit behind! My friend Jairo from Iquitos made it to Lima, and we left for Nazca the next day by bus. The bus was a double decker charter bus that cost about $22 for the 7 hour trip south to Nazca. We played Bingo, watched a couple movies (Spanish ... Read more >

Not too much terribly interesting has happened the last few days. I have done a lot of walking around town and some resting and watching people. I visited the rocky beach of Barranco yesterday and took a tour of Pachacamac this morning. It was a bilingual ... Read more >

Well, I´ve had an interesting, if not strange, evening. I decided to go to the theatre. I had no idea what I was going to see, just that it was a play at the local cultural center. I grabbed some dinner from the grocery store and sat outside to eat it ... Read more >

So, yesterday I hung out with a group from Holy Spirit (and a few others) from back in Atlanta that were touring Peru with Msgr. Dillon. Such a small world. We basically went through many of the spots I saw when I was first here but having a tour guide ... Read more >

Not a whole lot of adventure in Iquitos, unless you are talking about trying to cross the street! My new friend Jairo has been awesome about hanging out with me here. I´ve met many of his friends and family, too. Some days understanding Spanish is getting ... Read more >

So, the first couple days I spent in Lima went well. I hung out with Arabella the first day and a guy named Eric that I met in the square the second day. I toured many museums (art, inquisition, gold, bank, local crafts, etc) and over a dozen churches.... Read more >

So, I made it to Peru! I left Atlanta early in the morning and had a layover in Ft. Lauderdale for nearly 5 hours. It was probably the more boring time I have EVER spent in an airport. Because my connecting flight was leaving from the same terminal I ... Read more >

We left Yellowstone, but not before getting stuck in construction traffic again. That just gave us a nice opportunity to eat lunch! We visited the Battle of Little Bighorn, formerly known as Custer's Last Stand, in Montana. It was informative, but basically ... Read more >

So, crazy adventures aside, we made it into the park in the morning. We set up camp to reserve our spot early and cooked breakfast before heading out to check out the area. After a random hike around a patch of trees in the midst of shrubs, we took a ... Read more >

Lindsey picked me up from Denver, we spent a day in Cheyenne, and then hit the road on a 40 hour/1800 mile road trip across 5 states. Day 1 was crazy. It didn't start off that way though. It seemed like a normal road trip...stopping to tour The Old ... Read more >

For the most part, the pictures speak for themselves. After North Carolina, I spent a couple days in the Denver/Frisco area with Curt and January-two friends I met in Costa Rica earlier this year. The area is fantastic. We did a lot of hiking, some biking, ... Read more >
