Thanks for your blogs - a great read! So wonderful to hear you're having such an inspirational time. I'm doing a 12 week program in Lima starting next February. Can't wait - a little overwhelmed but good. I'm not at all familiar with the language, but will attempt to learn as much as possible between now and then. Looking forward to your photos :-)

In Ica, we went to Huacachina and had the time of our lives! Our dune buggy driver was hilarious and he rode us through the sand dunes - the tallest in South America - like it was a thrill ride! A little later, we attempted sand boarding and got to go down three hills of increasing steepness and height. It was completely awesom… Continue

My First Days in Peru

I have only been in Peru for about 48 hours now, and I can´t believe how much I´ve done! In the very first day, I got to visit the local super market and also volunteer with domestic workers.

I actually helped to teach them possesive pronouns, which doesn´t sound very exciting, b… Continue
