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

Peru – the Kansas of South America
Flies, garbage, graffiti, wide spread destruction from natural disasters, life size baby Jesus dolls – if it wasn’t for the salsa music blaring from gigantic blown speakers, we could be in Kansas. Oh Peru, the photos of the llamas and the ruins look so beautiful but all we have seen is hot and sandy desert. … Continue reading Peru – the Kansas of South America
Nasca Lines, Llamas, Chinchillas and Parade – Sylvia
We saw the Nasca lines. We saw the tree and the lizard and the hand. We wanted to go on the airplane, Annabelle and I really wanted to go – it spins around in circles and goes on its side. The desert was really hot, like hot as Death Valley. We drove up into the… Continue reading Nasca Lines, Llamas, Chinchillas and Parade – Sylvia
Lima – Jennah
We were just pulling into Lima when the trailer’s tire caught on fire. Again. Dad pulled over on a street that coincidentally had a number of mechanic shops and started to talk to the guys there whilst we went to the trailer. So the first two days in Lima were spent fixing the car. There… Continue reading Lima – Jennah
Lima — Sylvia
We went to Lima today and it turns out one of the biggest playgrounds in the world was actually made out of TIRES and that made mom go we can’t go because it will be burning hot. Lima had awesome fountains and you know what? I got to run in one that was like a… Continue reading Lima — Sylvia
Trujillo, La Libertad, Peru – Ryan
Trujillo, La Libertad, Peru Somehow I keep forgetting write blog posts. I could have sworn I wrote a blog post somewhere around Loja—where I was starting this post off before I double checked. The drive between Cuenca and Loja wasn’t very far but it took all day. Lots of steep, narrow mountain passes and the… Continue reading Trujillo, La Libertad, Peru – Ryan
My Day — Max

Tater-tots
Blog Post, January 29, 2013 I miss Tater-Tots. And fountain drinks. The first thing I’m going to do when we get back to America is drink a huge fountain drink. I didn’t know I missed it until I realize it’s impossible have it. The other day, Sylvia was singing a garbled version of Last Friday… Continue reading Tater-tots
Cloud Forests & Dudes
Ecuador is where I first became introduced to “cloud forests”. These “cloud forests” sound at least fifty percent more lovely than they actually are. The idea of a forest being hidden in the clouds seems very mystical and surreal, but in the end, all they are is a really moist patch of trees with hardly… Continue reading Cloud Forests & Dudes
Leaving Ecuador and arriving in Peru!
We meandered along the Pan American Highway that drove through the Ecuadorian Andes, up to more than 12,000 feet and then down to 1.400 feet. The Pan American splits at Riobamba and again at Loja and heads into the lowlands but we thought it would be hot and not as scenic as the route that took us through… Continue reading Leaving Ecuador and arriving in Peru!
