Huaraz is only about eight hours by bus from Lima, but it is breathtakingly beautiful. I am not in the mood right now to explain everything that I did, but all in all this was my favorite trip. The bus ride was less than desireable, but everything else was way better than other trips (food, living arrangments, etc...).I only have four more days of classes! That is crazy that this whole study

I just got back from the post office where i spent about forty dollars sending out 23 postcards! Yikes, I didn't realize it would cost nearly two dollars to send out each one! Hopefully they will get to all of you that i sent them too and I hope you enjoy them (because you aren't going to be getting a souvenir now that it cost so much to send those :) )I am leaving tonight to go to Huaraz.

I have been really bored lately so I figured that I would at least update my blog. I have been sitting in my room all day because the other people in my group are busy studying or doing projects for their classes. I fixed some of my drawings for my Anatomical Art class, because I am pretty sure I failed the assignment last week because I cared very little about the quality of my drawings. Then I

Things that I have learned from the empleada (the woman who cooks and cleans):1. That she doesn't know how to cook2. She doesn't understand the concept of celsius and fahrenheit.3. This kinda goes with the number two, cooking something at 200 degrees hotter than you are supposed to (our oven is in celsius and all the recipes call for 350 degrees fahrenheit, but the highest number our oven goes to

Hey sorry it has taken me so long to write up an update. I went rafting on Saturday and I had to write up a summary for my tutor. So I wrote it up in Spanish and I thought it would be funny to translate it back from English using an online translator.Here is the original:LunahuanaMe encontré con todo el grupo en la Pacífico a las ocho de la mañana para irnos a Lunahuana.

(You have to read the story I posted a couple of days ago to get the reference).Still standing tall after my earlier victory over the wicked Peruvian stewardess, I trekked on to Arequipa for the final two days of my trip. I found my hostal without a problem and went to bed hoping to wake up late in the morning fully rested. Instead, I woke up at six because the people next door were talking too

I plan on backtracking on the past posts to add photos, so you will have to check them out later. Yesterday morning I went to the port to find a boat that was going to one of the islands. The people at the hotel kept pestering me to go with an agency because it would be cheaper and I would have a guide, but I really did not want to go on a boat full of tourists and I hate listening to tour guides

Interesting turn of events for a trip that was planned a little over 24 hours ago.My trip started out so perfect so I knew that something was going to happen later. I left my house at 8:30 am to catch a bus to the airport and I found the right one pretty easily and it only costs 1.20 soles (less than fifty cents, which is about 9.50 cheaper than takindg a taxi). My host mom said that it would

For a country full of people who seem so completely unconcerned with getting anywhere on time, they do seem to be in quite a hurry. Does honking your horn really help people twelve cars ahead of you realize that the light turned green only half a second ago? I really don't think so. And I really don't think you need to constantly beep your horn at every single car that is waiting to make a left

I made Chilean empanadas all on my own yesterday and they came out decently well! I couldn't find Muenster Cheese, so I used some other type, which wasn't nearly as good, but it worked out alright. My host family seemed to like them too.Mom, you gotta tell Mita about this and show her the photo.

Sorry I haven't updated in awhile. This past weekend we went to Iquitos and the Amazon River. It was my birthday, but not a very good birthday. I thought having my birthday in the Amazon would be so cool, but once the trip started, I realized that I really would rather spend my birthday with my closest friends and my family. So I was a little sad. This post is going to have a bunch of photos, so

Can I go a Saturday without feeling like crap, even on my birthday?Yours truly,YourselfHere is the deal. We just got back from a two day Amazon River Cruise and our brilliant guide decided, ¨Why don´t we take a stroll through the fresh market on the busiest day in the heat?¨ So we did that, saw

By the end of volleyball practice today, my hand and wrist had swelled to about 175% their normal size. I wish I had a camera to take a picture, but I didn't and now they are only about 120% of their normal sizes.My birthday is on Saturday. I am going to the Amazon tomorrow and I won't return until Sunday. Wish me safe travels and a happy birthday.

Nearly every movie with at least one scene set in a foreign country shows some exotic animal outside of its element but the animal fails to garner any attention from passers-by. I had on of those moments yesterday morning while waiting for practice to start at school. I was waiting out by the soccer field, which is right next to the athletics office and gymnasium when a goat (which I could’ve

Starting to pray after never having really believed in its efficacy has been an unexpected side effect of the situations affecting my family. I think I prayed a lot more when I was younger, but they were just little prayers about everyday things, like "God please help me do _____" or "Thank you God for helping me/ her/ him with _____." But even those prayers became less frequent. I didn't

I am feeling better after the pity party I threw for myself in my last post. And I know that the biggest question on everyone's mind is "What can I get for Isaias for his birthay while he over in another continent?" Don't worry, my birthday isn't for another two weeks which would give you time to send me something! Actually, I am not sure how long it takes for postage to get here, but I don't

The newness of Lima has been quickly wearing off and replaced by an increasing bout of homesickness so having a four day weekend and literally having already spent Thursday in my room, I decided that I had to go out with some people from the group to a beach that is about an hour away. I woke up Friday morning at six a.m. and my stomach was really bothering me. By nine a.m. I felt better and I

Global warming is being discussed here in Peru just as much as it is in the states. The biggest difference that I have noticed is that there aren't people bickering about whether it does exist or if it doesn't. People here are just like, holy crap, global warming is screwing up a lot of things already what are we going to do about it/ we are going to need water to drink and if global warming

I just got back from Machu Picchu (MP) and I am in a train going from Aguas Calientes to Cusco. MP was amazing. You have to go there at some point in your life. It is so gorgeous. The day started off pretty bad. My roommate and I got up forty minutes late so we had to rush to get ready and sip breakfast so that we could get on the bus. We caught the bus that left right after our group´s. It only

Well classes started today so I will probably not be able to take as many photos anymore. I could whip my camera out on campus but I would rather be a little more inconspicuous. Somethings to note about the University: young Peruvians are significantly better looking than those who I have met so far, I am above average height here- not by much but it still feels good to not seem so short, and

I went to these ruins that are a little outside of the city. The ara is called Pachacamac and I think it is still being excavated because there was only one big house/palace that was open. The ruins are reconstructed so you can see where the old walls ended and where the new ones began. It is interesting to see how the houses were when they were first constructed but I think the new walls lack

I was supposed to go to the beach today but those plans fell through. So I went to the complete opposite side of the city to a place called La Punta in Callao (I think it is even a different city. Maybe it is a subdivision). I didn't know exactly what to expect or where to get off so I got off once we got through a very bleak city. I saw this fort looking thing called El Museo del Ejercito (and

I had no idea how to get to where I wanted to go so I walked until I found the stree that I wanted and then jumped on the public transportation. So far I love Lima's public transportation and I find it really easy to use. I haven't gotten lost yet, but I always carry around my map and check the street names

I think I am getting some color in my face! Granted it is a red color right now, but at least I am not pale! I visited the area around the historical center earlier today and I walked around a lot so my nose is kinda red and I am developing a nice farmer's tan/burn. I went to a couple of parks. They were all really beautiful with nice statues. Here are some photos and to look at all of the photos

I am excited for some of my classes. They seem like they will be pretty easy, which is what I want since I will be traveling a lot and I'd rather not worry about my homework. They do interest me though. I signed up for: (I

Hey everyone,I just arrived in Lima this morning at a little past seven. When we flew in, I looked down and saw all the poverty that people told me about. The partially constructed houses with second stories that don't have roofs, the lack of paved roads, and the trash outside. I still didn't feel deterred though. I obviously took note, but I wasn't surprised at it though. I started imagining

I have been home for three weeks now. I just realized that it has been three weeks. Classes at Rice start tomorrow so that is why I am blogging about how these three weeks have progressed. I am going to be going to Peru at the beginning of March. It is getting closer and closer each day so I am getting more excited. I am trying to save up some money for the trip so I got a job at Brueger's Bagel.

Next sunday is the beginning of Advent. It is the time of waiting for the birth of Christ. My pastor today taught about the Christmas story. He opened with some videos he saw on youtube that showed footage of a Wal-Mart on Black Friday. The video showed a massive sea of people running through the entrance of the store, without regard for anyone else. The next video showed some older (50 year olds

The concert last night was amazing. I will start out with the trip up there. We left Rice at 12:30. The trip takes about four hours without any traffic. We made it there a little quicker than that but we stopped at a Dairy Queen along the way so it ended up being about four hours. We got to the Lakewood Theater where the concert was to be held at 4:30 and there were eight people in line before us

Tomorrow I am headed up to Dallas with some friends to see a concert. I am pumped about it. We are going to see Sufjan Stevens. Many people don't know who he is but believe you me, he is going to be huge. He has been around for a couple of years. I don't know who to compare his music to because his style changes from song to song. Some songs are very folk and others are rock and others are just

I said that I will try to keep updating this thing so here is another one.It has been the first week of school and it has been really busy so far. O-week was incredible. I had so much fun. I can't believe that it is already over. I met really cool people. Part of the reaon I wanted to be an advisor was so that I met more people from other colleges, and it was a complete success. I met people that

Hello everyone,By popular demand, I will try to continue updating my blog periodically throughout the year.This will be a quick post because I have to get back to my Orientation Week Group. The week is going pretty well so far. My new students are all really cool and interesting. Today we had our cheer offs with the other colleges.

I am in an internet cafe because I sensed some tension among the bros and me at my home and I don't think I should be using the internet there anymore. I took it up for three hours one day and I am going to try to not use it after that. I went to Puerto Viejo with Marissa, Priti, Erin, Rebecca, and Carol. I really didn't want to spend a lot of money this weekend because I don't have any left so

I am doing my volunteer work right now, but I will try to give a bit of an update because it has been awhile since my last. This past weekend I went to Manuel Anotonio which is on the Pacific Coast. It is part of the National Park so the beaches are really well preserved. I left with seven other people from San Jose at 6:30 on Friday and got to the hotel at about 11 or so. The bus ride was fine.

I just got back from spending the weekend in a city called La Fortuna, which is situated near a volcano. It was really amazing. We all left Friday afternoon and got there Friday night. The first night we went to this big club that was packed. I played pool the entire night and I was horrible at it. I am usually decent when I play at school, but I don't know what was up that night. After that I

Yesterday I took a tour of San Jose. It seems like a really cool city. It is pretty dirty and there are a lot of people but there is also a lot of culture. We took a tour of the National Theater, which was beautiful, and went into one of the main cathedrals, which was also beautiful. I have some photos. Got to go, but the Gandhi quote says:¨¨First they ignore you, next they laugh at you,

I have been in Costa Rica for a couple of days now. I still haven´t seen the beautiful parts of the country, but the area that I am in seems really cool. I will try to give as thorough of an update as I can, but details may have escaped me and I have to type really fast because other people want to use the computer. For the last couple of days I have been hanging out at ICADS (the Spanish school)

Tomorrow morning I leave for Costa Rica. I arrive around 8 pm in San Jose. I can't believe that this is happening so soon! I will be gone for an entire month. This really is an experience of a lifetime. I pray that I will be able to embrace the Costa Rican life motto "La pura vida," which means "the pure life." Most of you know that I am not much of a wild partier, but I really want to make sure
