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
The Beach House — Annabelle
We left Chile very early in the morning at 4am. The plane was awesome! It had movies in your own tv, breakfast and drinks. It was very cool watching the sun rise. After 3 hours, the plane landed. We got off and got our bags and a guy came up and told us the dogs… Continue reading The Beach House — Annabelle
Sylvia — Divercity!!
Yesterday I went to Reversity and it was really fun. We took a combi and then we got dropped off. It was a really long ride. We were dropped off on the highway and we crossed the street on a really long walking bridge and we got to the children’s museum and they were closed… Continue reading Sylvia — Divercity!!
Back in Peru
We’re back in Peru. A little of a let down after being in Chile for so long. No more clean places and such. The first day here was spent getting comfortable and helping Mother, Ryan and Jack to get ready to go to La Paz. The next couple of days were spent recouporating from our airport shanigan.… Continue reading Back in Peru
Relentlessly Forward

Or, like Scuffy the Tugboat: there is only one way to go and that was with the rushing river On Friday, April 26, we sold the camper. The man who bought it did not have a… Continue reading Relentlessly Forward
From Mark – Coffee
We are nearing the end of our time in South America. I haven’t posted very often, for many reasons. Often the competition for computer time is high, especially when there is internet access. Often I am very tired at the end of the day from doing whatever is was that day. There are many other… Continue reading From Mark – Coffee
Puno, we cannot leave you!
March 13 was the scheduled departure from Puno. The night before, we had a sad goodbye with the Grifo folks. Ryan helped them with an English lesson CD on their computer for awhile and we looked through our hard drive of music and listened to Whitney Houston and Madonna (their choice). We woke up early,… Continue reading Puno, we cannot leave you!
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
Puno — Jennah
We have been in Puno for a while now, and it grows idle and slightly boring. We do have lots of hats to buy, though. The floating islands were cool, though they smelled bad. I think that the reeds under were rotting. We walked around the reed desert and looked at what they sold. I… Continue reading Puno — Jennah
