The Amazon leg of the trip was a pretty fun and exciting leg. There was lots of drama, nuns, beetles, spiders, hammocks, and pure jungleness. We had a few days left before our flight to Dallas so we decided to go chill in the Amazon because, you know, it’s one of South America’s most famous… Continue reading Amazon Things

Flights and things
I got to fly on a jet plane again! We flew form Santiago, Chile, to Lima, Peru. The plane we flew on had the coolest chairs ever because the seat in front of you had a screen on the back designed entirely for your entertainment. You could choose between watching movies, TV shows, or music.… Continue reading Flights and things
Impulse Buying and Public Urination – Jack
Chile is big on a lot of things, skateboarding, Kurt Cobain, smoking, and long passionate kissing on the ground in public (making out) but two of my favorite things is their public urination and their impulse buying. We’ve been at this gas station for a week or two in total, at this gas station there’s… Continue reading Impulse Buying and Public Urination – Jack
The Atacama – Jack
We got into Chile sometime ago. It was a bit of a relief to leave Peru and enter a place where traffic laws were enforced and the water was drinkable. Arica was the first city we got to. Arica reminded me of Anchorage, Alaska but that’s probably just because it had a port and sidewalks.… Continue reading The Atacama – Jack
Away from Puno – Jack
We left Puno a couple of days ago. I really liked Puno. We drove for days over the cold plateaus until we got into a cold desert plateau then we descended into a hot desert with a city. Mom had to work so we stopped at this city for a day or so. The town… Continue reading Away from Puno – Jack
Puno Blog Post 2 – Jack
Yo, it’s Jack. Puno continues to be the same, old, lakeside, Peruvian, city that it ever was. I can’t really think of all that much new material to write about my life spent in Puno so I think I’m going to try to describe it a little bit. There’s this plaza called Plaza de Armes… Continue reading Puno Blog Post 2 – Jack
Manjar
Hello. My last post was about Lima or the Nazca lines I think so I have a lot of days to cover. We headed high up into the Andes and met herds of beautiful llama like creatures. One day we camped on top of the High Plateau and I was almost able to join a… Continue reading Manjar
Coco Tea and Mars
There is absolutely nothing wrong with chewing coco leaves. We bought a large bag of dried coco leaves and the only change I can detect from chewing them is the slight numbing of the mouth. I myself rather enjoy the numbing of the mouth. It reminds me of my time spent at the dentist and… Continue reading Coco Tea and Mars
Lima and whatnot
We’re still in Peru. The desert is hot and uncomfortable at times. The night is also pretty hot and I’ve developed a habit of sleeping without blankets or clothing. I long time ago, my headphones broke and I’ve been stuck listening to the sounds of traffic or nonstop Taylor Swift while driving, but thankfully I… Continue reading Lima and whatnot
Cuenca Area
It’s been a while since my last post and I kind of forgot where I left off last time so I’m just going to post about our recent travels. A lot happened in Otavalo. Our dog died, I fainted, I bought a few things, bad surgery was performed, and all in all, it was a… Continue reading Cuenca Area
