6months has gone so fast.  The months have just flown by, one minute we was at the airport in Heathrow, moaning about the girl from the Air Canada desk, thinking she was rude and brash, then worried because my name was spelt wrong on the airline ticket.  And now we are 5hours away from Li…

I couldn’t believe it, I was back home!!! I was able to communicate to my mom while I was in Miami, so she sent a taxi to pick me up from the airport. Doing customs wasn’t bad, since I left the plain early, but picking up the bags took a long time!!! Actually the longest was getting out of …

My city, warm people, beautiful buildings, while you are walking you will see the past together with the new era. Different kinds of dishes, our Pisco is the best :)) Come and visit my country.

My 17 hour bus ride from Tumbes to Lima was actually very nice.  I paid extra to get the Bus Cama which had seats with plenty of leg room and the seats almost fully reclined.  They played good movies in English with Spanish subtitles rather than dubbed which seems to be more typical …

Finally I arrived to Peru around 7pm. Clearing customs was simple, or at least I don't remember any special event... hahaha. Mom and dad were waiting for their lost daughter, hahaha. They picked me up and drove back home asap. I had so many stories to tell, that it'd take me forever, hahaha.By the …

By the time I arrived home, it was already Monday, haha. Mom opened the door and I could listen to Gunther. Dad wasn't here. He was in Ecuador and would come back on Friday.I talked to my mom for a bit and apologized to Gunther for not having bringing anything back for him this time. I didn't have …

I'm a trusty person and never pay much attention about the emails talking about the dangers in the streets, but this time I started to think about it and I don't know why. Well, usually when a taxi waits for me, they have a shield with my name on it, but this time the guy had just a piece of paper.…

Due to heightened security because of the recent terrorist attack gone bad, no liquids were allowed to be brought on board the plane. So, instead of carrying on as usual, I had to check my luggage, arrgh! I arrived at the airport in Lima, Peru, safely. However, I waited, it seemed, almost 2 hours f…

 During the trip back from Cusco to Lima, my wife got sick, the soroche, the high altitude sickness, got to her. We went to the pharmacy and got some soroche pills. Therefore we had a slow day and did not do too many things. In the afternoon we went to the Gold and Weapons museum. It is amazin…

Yay! This was my first trip (hopefully of many) to South America. I met my sister at the Fort Lauderdale airport on Tuesday afternoon because we booked the same flight to Lima but she had to fly from Colorado. As usual, our Spirit Air flight was delayed for about an hour so we passed the time by e…

Couple of days in Buenos Aires and the Inca Trail +++Under construction+++

Its been a while since I've written, so if this gets long or boring just lie to me and tell me you read it. I'd never know the difference. Actually, I have a feeling that's what's  happening at restaurants and on some of the tours we've done. Who really knows. Ignorance truly is bliss...So the…

I´m spending around 1 year in South America, I had an amazing time. Enjoy my pictures, I'd do it again.

In the sputh of Lima, Close to Chile is Tacna... a beatifull city with friendly people and a lot of history...

Well, i was never one of those people who could think that I could eat a CUY, but out of curiosity and enjoying diversity, i gave it a try and its a chance of a lifetime (meaning im only there once). As soon as the CUY was served, we asked our server, just to chop the head and claws off. …
