Cusco

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 | By embtravelgirl | Views [863]

The short version for now: I got into Cusco around lunchtime on Monday and Darcy picked me up from the airport. I´m couch surfing with him, and he´s pretty awesome. He knows a tiny bit of English, but only speaks to me in Spanish, so I´m definitely ... Read more >

Wow! I´m a bit behind! My friend Jairo from Iquitos made it to Lima, and we left for Nazca the next day by bus. The bus was a double decker charter bus that cost about $22 for the 7 hour trip south to Nazca. We played Bingo, watched a couple movies (Spanish ... Read more >

Not too much terribly interesting has happened the last few days. I have done a lot of walking around town and some resting and watching people. I visited the rocky beach of Barranco yesterday and took a tour of Pachacamac this morning. It was a bilingual ... Read more >

A Free Play with a Gay Cupid-Devil

Sun, 30 Aug 2009 | By embtravelgirl | Views [541]

Well, I´ve had an interesting, if not strange, evening. I decided to go to the theatre. I had no idea what I was going to see, just that it was a play at the local cultural center. I grabbed some dinner from the grocery store and sat outside to eat it ... Read more >

Paragliding & Parade

Sun, 30 Aug 2009 | By embtravelgirl | Views [954]

So, yesterday I hung out with a group from Holy Spirit (and a few others) from back in Atlanta that were touring Peru with Msgr. Dillon. Such a small world. We basically went through many of the spots I saw when I was first here but having a tour guide ... Read more >

Copa
