Well, this is just beyond the ends of the earth of negligence....it has been.......well, it has been A WHILE.....to say the least. Let me give you a quick break down, so we dont get too crazy confused here.
1. After Puno, Ayla and I headed to Cusco for language school at San Blas (not as nice as the pictures show online, due to some major reconstruction efforts....and an excessive amount of Dutch invasion)........But great, nonetheless......i had a fabulous host family with an Abuela and an Abuelo that would just make you go awwwwwww!!!!! if you had the pleasure......Started picking up some spanish (for reals) and made some headway in understanding some of the subtleties of the Peruvian culture (like there are 7 women for every man....and my Abuela thought it would be a grand idea to share her husband with some of these extras) and my neurotic professor..........
2. In the weekend between the two weeks at school we visited the ALMIGHTY MACHU PICCHU.....it WAS as fabulous as everyone says....but the mountains and the hiking around it were more to my liking than the actual structures which inspire much awe in people (or people THINK should inspire so much awe in them).......on the way we stopped in Ollantaytambo, a small village in the Sacred Valley, had a great time....walked out on the highway a bit, ran into some cows and chickens........Then in Aguas Calientes, soaked our feet in some hot springs while Carlos, the bartender brought us some Pina Coladas (which ended up being FREE Pina Coladas....come on guys, this guy is making so much money....we didnt feel too bad leaving when we couldnt find the guy in his Cabana).....
3.....well right now im in Cordoba, Argentina with my friend Ilie, who says its time to go catch the bus to Mendoza......wine country, here i come! But soooooooooooooon, i will add a better #3, and many more.
Hope all is well!
A Broad Abroad.......abroad from her blog.......
