Lima, Peru

I am officially living in the house that my father grew up in! Going to spend over two months here and I am already off to an awesome start. Last night I left the house in search of food and ran into my aunt on the corner. We went out to dinner, bought a map, got ice cream, waited in holiday lines. I met a man at the mall who grew up down the street from my dad and all my uncles and aunts when they were kids! Today my cousin, his girlfriend, and I walked around Lima, got sandwiches and tattoos. I just walked to the corner store under a beautiful smog sunset, down the streets that my father did! Walked through the intersection that defined his entire childhood. Now I am helping my aunt, my cousin, and her boyfriend string up Christmas lights. Tonight we will dine on the traditional Christmas Eve midnight turkey dinner! Man it's good to be Peruvian.

  1. Dude I just read a lot of your blog posts. I laughed so hard about calling that man "senora."
    When I got to the farm in Mexico 3 out of the 4 other volunteers were from Portland and the other was from Bend.
    Your adventures sound utterly magical. Way to go.
