Day 2! Cuzco!

So this morning I almost missed my flight to Cuzco but luckily my hostal called my room and woke me up when my taxi showed up.I got to the airport around 8:30am. After I had a ticket agent print out my ticket I found a Starbucks outside of security so I just had to stop by and get my drink. ...

Nausea and Hard Feelings

Last night, I survived a nightbus from Cusco to Arequipa. This entailed sitting/trying to sleep on a bus/trying desperately not to throw up as we wound through mountainous terrain for about 9 hours. We took a nice bus line, Cruz del Sur, in hopes that the higher bus fee would ward off any...

Gatita is NOT a Hussy!

Amy and I took Gatita to the vet today and she´s not pregnant after all! Yaaaaay! Also, we are leaving Cusco tonight! Yaaaaaay! We are going to Arequipa and will then head to the coast and move north. My communication may be a bit spotty over the next couple weeks until I get back to Cusco...

Gatitia is a Hussy

Oh my god, the cat we want to rescue and bring back to the states with us is PREGGERS. We totally thought that she was just getting less emaciated. No wonder she was so skinny...the babies inside her were eating her from the inside out! But now she has a little belly and Amy and I were so...

"No llaves."

So, this funny little story actually took place a couple weeks ago, but seeing as I´ve been too busy to write about it, I´m going to tell it now. One Monday night (June 14th?), Amy and I got invited to go to a yoga class by another FairPlay student, Will. We went to the class and afterwards...

Medical Care in Peru

So, last Wednesday evening, I found myself flat on my back in a doctor´s office in a third world country with my feet in stirrups. Don´t worry, those are the only personal details I´m going to give. But really Universe, wasn´t the mouth cancer incident enough? Why is my trip to Peru littered...

Things that are different in Peru than in the United States

Things that are different in Peru than in the United States: 1. Granola bars: they are not made of granola. They are made of quinoa and other grains that remind me of the millet I feed my birds at home. They have the texture of styrofoam but are cheap and comparatively healthy. 2. ...

Machu Picchu (continued)

Okay, so when I left off yesterday, Amy, Katie and I had just arrived at the gates of Machu Picchu. These gates are actually fairly depressing...someone paid someone else a shit ton of money to build the Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge, this terrible, large building right at the gates of Machu...
