Unfortunately, even though we were all longing to be thrust back into the teeming culture and life style of the land of the free, we couldn’t, at first. Our hotel was in the middle of a field, which in turn was surrounded by complicated freeways. We ate Domino’s pizza for dinner, which was absolutely delicious… Continue reading Le Blog Post – Dallas To Washington Edition

Amazon Things
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
Day Five and Six
So begins day five and six. It was decided we would go into Lima, so after preparation we waited for the bus on the dirt strip between roads for the bus. We caught one to Lima that was only moderately filled with people, but on the way it rapidly became jam packed. It was quite… Continue reading Day Five and Six
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
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
Puno – Jack
Not all that much has happened since my last post so this won’t be too informative. A few days ago I was petting my wrist when I discovered that I have a cyst. It isn’t anything bad just a lovely little lump but mother wanted to make sure it wasn’t a bone spur or cancer… Continue reading Puno – Jack
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
