okay
plans are being made and i’m kinda glad to be getting out of lima for a bit. we are going to fly over the nazca lines to see,yes, a hummingbird (among other things such as a monkey, an astronaut???)-wendy said “because they had astronauts back then.”- and other things that were ruined by californians driving through the nazca lines and leaving their trash behind. they were formed...

shit, how do I explain this adventure?
If I could post the picture of the traditional Peruvian garb I picked up in Cusco you might just freak out. Wendy and Reuben did a photo shoot in our hotel.

The market by the train station and my friends
I really do have some hilarious and some just plain cool photos to post. I am on my friend’s MAC and despite wanting to own one, I can’t fuckin’ figure it out. Anyway, just a note to describe the market next to the train station in Cusco. They have tons of handcrafted goods and food. I wanted to take pictures, but I was about to barf at the chicken all splayed open with...

We are finally in Lima and I can barely think due to lack of sleep. We woke up at 4am the past two mornings. On Christmas day we left for Machu Picchu early and today we had to catch a flight…and shrink wrap all the friggin’ alpaca gloves, hats, scarves, blankets etc. that we bought. I guess this is something they see a lot of in Cusco because the airport has a nifty shrink wrapper...

Machu Picchu
The Vistadome takes much longer than I expected and then once we got to Aguas Calientes we got on a bus that takes about 25 minutes to the ruins. The bus ride was exactly like my nightmares. It was funny how I made Wendy promise me there weren’t going to be any death defying bus rides and THERE WAS! It was quite scary, but I was amazed at how well I handled it, as was Wendy considering my...

The Truth About Inspiration

2. I know there are people out there that are really into inspirational quotes. The kind of person that needle points them into pillows. Couches covered in pillows that say things like, Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. - Helen Keller. I...
