Finally, I am able to join slate and create an article under my own name. Only almost a month too late. It had been quite a while since I posted I have just been waiting for everything to get straightened out and settled in. I’m sure just like Maria-Ines, Steve, Andreas, Anna, Leah, Macy and Stefani, I miss being in Peru. The history, the culture, the sights, the people, the food, the everything. I still can’t believe that I have pictures with Machu Picchu and me in it. And it’s not Photoshopped!! I had an amazing time in Peru and couldn’t have asked for more. I didn’t know what to expect going into this trip, but I was very pleased with how it all turned out. Although I was sick for 24 hours and found a fake 100 dollar bill, and got severe blisters, and 30 plus bug bites, nothing could have made my trip better. The entire trip was action packed and we were always on the go. I think that Maria-Ines really set up the itinerary with us in mind. She didn’t hold back and allowed us to see interesting and important landmarks of Peru. We saw many cathedrals, monasteries, the Incan ruins (my favorite), ate many different amazing food (another favorite), we talked to many different people, saw the behind the scenes of the oldest magazine in Peru, and so many other things. We experienced things that I have never imagined I would every experience in my life. I couldn’t have asked for a better trip, experience or group to go with!
