Good Morning, everyone! Although I have been posting glimpses of my days in Peru, I haven’t talked much about or shown much of my volunteering in childcare. That is why I went, after all. As I explained before, I went to Peru to volunteer with children for one month. Going into it, I didn’t really know what […]
Peru: San Pedro Market & El Molino Market, & Out and About
During my last couple of days in Peru, I tried to soak up as much of the culture as possible. There is a big market near the Plaza de Armas called San Pedro Market where they sell…everything. Fruits, vegetables, meats, cheese, grains, nuts, pasta, textiles, clothing, meals, fresh juices, and so much more! It was […]
Peru: Day 15-Now (Day 27??) Inca Jungle Trek
************Edited to add pictures**************** Wow, it has been way, way, way too long since I´ve been on here. Part of it has been that I haven´t uploaded any pictures to the computer (since I don´t think the family likes it) and the other part of it has been that I have been out and about. […]
Day 10 & 11: Run, Sleep, Eat (Korean!), and Inti Raymi
Day 10, Day 10. It was a pretty uneventful day, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Sometimes you need a low-key day, right? Even though we didn´t get in until 5:00 am on Monday, I only slept until 8:00 am because I wanted food. Always. So I got up, ate (bread with butter, yogurt with cereal), […]
Day 9: Puno and Lake Titicaca (Part II)
Where did we leave off? Oh yes, I was getting eaten alive by spiders while I slept soundly. We were called for breakfast as the sun was rising, so I hopped out of bed to snap photos of the breathtaking sunrise and flowers on the property! After brushing our teeth with ice cold water, we […]
Day 8: Puno and Lake Titicaca
Hey! Lets see how much I can get down in one post. Bare (or is bear?) with me! I have a looooot of pictures. (BUT THEY´RE BEAUTIFUL AND WORTH SEEING!) But the post incredible part about all of the pictures you will see in this post (and every post here, for that matter) is they […]
Day 6 & 7-Running in Thin Air, Corpus Christi, Project Day 3
Buenas Dias! —-Written last week, but never posted due to the lack of time—- Happy FRIDAY! Yesterday was another bright and early day, which began with bread, pb & jelly, and bread with butter, and really delicious hot cocoa. Since it was a holiday, I had the entire day off, so I used the extra […]
Peru Day 4 & 5: My 1st and 2nd Day at Placement & (Failed) Salsa.
The following was written yesterday, but not posted: Phew, Tuesday was a looooooooooooooo…..oooooooong day! I was asleep within seconds last night and I´m still only half awake. And the coffee is watered down blah coffee #thestruggleisreal. Spanish class went well again yesterday and I was only half as starving as I had been the day […]
Peru: Day 3 & 4. Selfie City.
Hola! So where did we leave off? Right, I was about to go to my first Spanish class… Spanish class went really well. I have class 2 hours every day, but I only signed up for one week so I could test the waters. So far, so good. And I like it because it doesn´t […]
The Beginning of the Adventure. Peru Day 1-3.
Hola from Cusco, Peru! –Please excuse the iPhone pictures. I don´t know how to upload the photos from my camera. Will figure it out soon. And in the meantime, excuse the spelling errors…Spanish spellcheck is on!– The flight here was a breeze, espeically since it was a redeye and I slept most of the way. […]
