September 26, 2004My weekendI was exhausted after Manu, but managed to rest up on Friday night and was raring to go this weekend, which was really good. Yesterday I did laundry at the house, and then I made lunch with the mom, Isabel....Read this update The JungleI spent five days in the jungle last week. Or more accurately, about 3 days in the jungle and 2 days driving there and back. The more upscale tours drive in and fly back, and now I understand why. It's...Read this update September 24, 2004Photo HellI just spent an hour or so trying to get this damn photo thing to work. Need to do some more brainstorming. In the meantime, I'm posting one lovely photo as a teaser--the jungle at sunrise this morning. Enjoy!...Read this update Back to CivilizationWhat a novelty to be away from radio, TV, and internet for 5 whole days! Pretty remarkable. It's nice to be back, though. Just wanted to let you all know I had a great trip and am back safe and...Read this update September 18, 2004Sightseeing in Full ForceToday was a full day of hiking and wandering and bus-taking to get to the salt flats (terraced on a mountain) and to see Incan ruins at Chinchero that were pretty impressive (probably moreso because they were my first!). It...Read this update September 17, 2004Big PlansToday, it's a week since I left San Francisco. Hard to believe. On the one hand, it doesn't seem like I've been gone very long, but somehow I also feel like I've been here for a while. This trip hasn't...Read this update September 14, 2004Just Like the LocalsWell, not really. I took the bus to and from school today all by myself, but these buses are just way too small for me, even the bigger ones. They're basically falling apart minivans stuffed full of people, and a...Read this update September 12, 2004Buenos Dias de Cusco, Peru¡Hola! Already I'm not thinking too clearly in English, but of course fumbling through the Spanish, so bear with me! I made it to Cusco in one piece, and am getting settled in with my host family. The parents are...Read this update September 08, 2004Last Entry from SFI've waited until the absolutely last possible minute to pack up my computer and haul it off to my storage space, but finally, this is the last possible minute. In just about 48 hours, I'll be getting on a plane...Read this update September 05, 2004Last Weekend, Last Sunday, Last...I'm in my last week--just five more days and five more nights until I leave! I'm constantly aware of how it's my last something--last Saturday night, last weekend morning, etc. etc. So far my last weekend's going okay. Thanks to...Read this update |
