Wow. It´s been another long while. But its good that Im able to blog now because it says that I´m alive and I am well. Where do I begin? Well after five weeks in Honduras and a wonderful, but sad goodbye I have taken a bus to Tegucigalpa and flown out of there to Lima, Peru. It was an interesting time in Tegucigalpa, but then even more interesting in Peru. It was definitely a sad day to leave Honduras, but it was time to move on. Peace out fam! So I arrived in Lima on March 1^st and it was definitely a big big city. I seen houses and places for miles when I was landing and then we we hit up the beach and the main plaza that day I still couldn’t imagine where things started and where they ended. It was like a dream! We soon got confronted with strip club offers and drugs haha typical of looking like tourists. But honestly I came to Peru feeling like a tourist, and wanting to learn about a culture very very different from my own. So we explored the city, slept in the airport, and headed out for Cuzco the next day. Of course there was problems at the airport and they didn’t want to let me on the freakin airplane, but I used my best Spanish curse words to get my way, no not true, but they let me on eventually, two hours of standing at the check luggage place! We got to Cuzco and in my opinion, was more impressive than Lima, especially at first site. The city just looked more colonial, but it just had a more Incan feel if you will. So we headed to our hotel which was small, but cozy and really nice. I guess they just got good reviews in the new Lonely Planet books and we just got lucky somehow. The guy was Flemish (which means from Belgium), yea… I had no clue so I asked him. He spoke English and Spanish and was really helpful to us. Andrew got sick from the food the night before and so while he was recuperating in the bed during the day, I went out to explore the city. North Faces were unreasonably cheap and so yea I feel bad, but I got a couple haha and I also rented some hiking boots which would later save my walking career. I walked around and soon found out that llamas and Al-Paaca´s are the gold of the people here. Its crazy. And I also found out that there are three different types of lana, baby al-paaca, regular (Im guessing mid age) al-paaca, and then adult al-paaca. The baby al-paaca lanba is worth the most and the prices for anything made of it are at least a hundred dollars. I now find it weird that we have Al-Paaca´s in Spokane haha. I get back to the hotel after eating some good unknown meat and then feel sick after finding out what it was. Yea it was a blood sausage, but thank the Lord that I figured out after one bite that it wasn´t something I wanted to eat. The other meat was pretty good though. And I got it all for a prettier nifty price. I then returned back to the hotel and prepared my bags for a four day hike to the ancient Incan ruins of Choquequiroao and man oh man was it exciting!!! There was blood, sweat, tears, rock slides, bears, condors, pouring rain, fun, more sweat well you get the picture. Eother way Choquequirao was an amzing experience. We left the 3rd of March and returned the 7^th of March. I feel accomplished yes indeed, because we survived since Mama Pacha and Choquequirao is over 3,000 meters high!!! Yes it’s a beast. The hike was four days and I traveled with my bestest buddy Andrew Eller, two girls from Spain which was really cool that we had good company, our guide, and three helpers that carried our stuff, set up and put down our tents, and cooked us beautiful meals. It was all wonderful. Choquequirao can only be reached by walking which makes it harder to reach than its sister site of Machu Picchu. Our guide explained to us that when the Spanish came and conquered the Incans, they missed two great sites, Machu Picchu and Choquequirao! Why?... Pretty sure because those places are pretttttttty high. When we got back on the last day I was super tired, but felt like I was on top of the world!!!!!!!!!! I kinda was at one point haha but whatever. Back to Cuzco we later met up with our Spanish friends and I ate some Al-Paaca, some Trucha (trout) de La Plancha and even sang and danced a bit!!! Everything was good and we when went to pack up in the morning for our flight out of Cuzco or so we thought. So the morning comes and we leave to the airport and they of course can´t find my name on the list. But this time it was my fault because the flight back to Lima was the next day!!! I did feel crunchy at that very moment, but you know, things happen! So we decide to go get a day pass and see some more of Cuzco which i´m very glad happened. We checked out five main sites. The first was Tambomachay, then PukaPukara, then Saqsayhuaman, then Christo, and then Q´enqo. I liked all of them, but Saqsayhuaman (and yes it sounds like sexy woman) was definitely way cooler than the others, and the statue of Christ was very impressive as well. I would tell you what they all were for, but just ask me later and i´ll try my best to fill you in. We later went to this Center de Native Art to watch some dances and hear some songs from the region which was very interesting as well. Our day pass was good for a lot of stuff like museums, but the museums were closed… since it was a Sunday… just our luck! We then go back to the hotel after our free luggage store at another hotel. We asked a hotel to hole our luggage while we were out that day and we would then come back to get a room…but we just came back for our luggage muhaahahah. Yea but that plan kinda backfired a little when we got to the airport and it was closed!!! Yea we were just gonna sleep there and then wake up for our flight at 12 the next day, but we didn´t think about the fact that the Cuzco airport was smaller than your average. We then catch a super cheap hotel near the airport for 6 bucks for the both of us! Im talking discount ya dig! We then wake up after a good nights sleep and walk to the airport. Well I actually woke up with a sun burnt neck from walking around Cuzco the ngiht before. I didn´t even know either. I should´ve thought more about being closer or more directly under the sun haha but w/e. I´m currently sitting at the airport waiting to fly to Buenos Aires in the morning for the next four months of my life! I´m going to be studying at the Universidad del Salvador. I believe it has around 15,000 students and it is a Catholic institution. This time I´m going to be the International student! I get to experience more Spanish, more people, more culture, and just more everything which is just what I want. I´m super stoked to be in a new place and to experience more of life! Wish me luck. I love and miss all of you! Bye bye
