It's been a long time since I last wrote but I'm glad you're still around to read all about my adventures! There seems to be a bit of an issue with blogging. When I'm off doing lots of stuff that you might want to hear about, I don't have time to write about it but then when I'm just hanging around at home I have all the time in the world to tell you about all of the nothing that I'm up to. Well, as you might have guessed it have been an eventful last month so lets get started. Three [View Full Entry]

I know this probably isn't what you want to hear but things here have been pretty quiet. Classes have continued on with my feelings about them remaining aprox the same.

Today is only my second day in Cuzco and I already love it! The city has about half a million people, from what I heard from my taxi driver in Lima. Seems like a good size and it feels that way. From what I can tell so far there is lots to do here but nothing is too far away. I spent yesterday hanging out with the three other student who arrived early. There was Kelly from the Oregon, Kyle from Cali and Lynsey, also from Cali. Spanish was of course our first topic of conversation. Who had taken what classes, [View Full Entry]
