The old guy named John who was traveling by himself (at 78). I had a wonderful conversation with him while on the balcony drinking tea in Pisaq.



Wow, I haven't written in quite a long time. The last few weeks in Peru were a whilrwind of a lot of fun, a lot of work, and a lot of stress. I made so many Peruvian friends in Cusco that I did not want to leave, not to mention that I am in love with the dirty city. The last few weeks included my birthday, traveling to Pisaq, gaining two more girls in the house who I became very good friends with, buying lots of gifts for friends, finishing my final presentation on the hoja de coca and cocaine, and saying goodbye to my family and friends.

Now I am home and getting everything ready and packed up to leave for school again. I will return the 18th of August for Resident Assistant training and then orientation the following week with the freshmen (the biggest class that Alma has had in years). So in the next two weeks I am going to go to chicago with my family, Wisconsin to visit friends for a week, and the rest of the time going though everything I own and clearing things out. A fresh start for a new school year.

God was so good to me on this trip. He kept me in line when I needed a kick and provided me with an amazing family along the way. I am so grateful for this experience and can't wait to return to Cusco some day soon.
