Chao po!

So I'm back in Michigan! For the last three weeks I was adventuring through Peru and Argentina, and I'd love to write all about it, but seriously, that's just not going to happen. But I'd love to tell you all about it and show you pictures so come visit me!

In summary: 20-hour busrides, Machu Picchu, no hot water in a town called "Agua Calientes," "altitude sickness," horse-back riding, bungee jumping 122 meters, sweating, sun burn, taxi drivers yelling "Lady, I take you. Get in my cab. Ladyyyyy.", a Peruvian Thanksgiving, pretty churches, a bull fight, a man licking bus window, buying corn on the cob with cheese from ladies on the side of the road, llamas and alpacas, eating an alpaca, Evita's grave, Iguazu falls, more sweating, more sun burn, seeing dog-walkers with 15+ dogs attached to their belts, 95 degree heat at 10:30PM, and much much more I'm sure.

And then to relax, on my last day in Santiago, two friends and I snuck into the Crowne Plaza and went swimming on their terrace. Ha! And that was yesterday. And now I'm surrounded by snow. Brr.

Pictures on facebook soon! Or come on over and I can show you the unabridged version. (Let's just say I filled up my memory card on the third day... there's a lot of pictures.)

Thanks for reading my blog! I hope you all enjoyed reading about my adventures! I don't see any other huge trips in the near future... but for next time, I'm thinking... China! Ni hao China!!

Until then... besos y abrazos a todos!! Chao!
