Oh man, back from Peru!
The trip was amazing.
I won't crowd your friend page with the details but if you want some highlights:
Ok, so here are some of the choice moments:
First, while at SFO waiting for our plane we saw the glorious triumvirate that is Stella. No joke. This is how we new it would be a good trip. We saw Keanu Reeves at LAX too but that was not nearly as exciting.
Death defying rides in rickshaws in the Amazon...
You haven’t been in a storm until you get caught in a thunderstorm while on a rickety boat in the Amazon.
I got bit by this monkey right in the Achilles tendon!
But then I got groomed by this monkey...
You can’t understand why a fan would be a highlight unless you’ve been in 90-100 degree weather at the equater with 100% humidity. Thanks, heat stroke!
We went to the hippest restaurant on earth in Cusco. The waiters only spoke English and there was a sex shop in the back.
Most of the tables were just old fashioned bathtubs turned into aquariums covered by a plate of glass.
The bathroom walls and ceiling were just cracked mirror with one blue light.
I got to hold a baby alpaca!
This is why there are so many alpacas in Peru:
Love is hugging an alpaca for your girlfriend even though it’s been spitting at everyone.
I got to go Christmas shopping in Cusco’s open air markets!
The Andes are incredible. They don’t make mountains like that up here.
Machu Picchu was everything I expected and more. Words can’t do it justice. Thanks, coca leaves!
White water rafting in the Urubamba. Class 4.5, fuck yeah!
I finally got to see catacombs! At the Iglesia de San Francisco in Lima
Josh and I didn’t end up hating eachother after 3 weeks of constant hanging out. Quite the opposite.
Best. Souvenir. Ever.
Moral of the story everyone: Working your ass off to save enough money to travel is totally worth it.
