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...

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...

La Capital del Imperio Inca

El Cusco es el punto de partida para llegar a Machu Picchu, pero también una ciudad que posee un centro histórico interesante. Como toda ciudad colonial tiene su plaza de armas, y un puñado de iglesias, de hecho, durante la época de ocupación, los españoles se dedicaron a construir iglesias...

Machu Picchu, NOT!

This post will be allot shorter than usual because we are now in Argentina and a little bit behind on the blogging. =) We came to Cusco after a 20h bus journey that took us over the andes from Lima, and on the way all our fellow travelers where sniffing Alcohol, like the kind you clean wounds...
