Byebye South America - Yay Hurray!!!

Sunday, 22 Jun 2008 | Views [1013]

Hopefully I didn´t speak too soon. I´ll be crying lots if I don´t get on a flight tonight. The funny thing about Ecuadorians is they´re SO pround of their country. Almost anybody I meet wants to know if I liked it, how long I spent here, whether I spent ... Read more >


Byebye Cusco
