The adventures begin!
Words cannot express
the events, interactions, and feelings that have occurred all before we have
had our first full night of sleep. We left Friday evening from ATL and flew
through the night till we arrived in Cusco, Peru at 8am Saturday morning.
Thankfully I am queen of naps and collected hours of sleep along the way.
Cusco: 40◦F in the
morning, very touristy, and SO SCENIC. Our whole group screams American with
our iPhones in the air in every direction. The food is absolutely incredible! Everything
is so fresh and delicious. Pobre America. A warm welcome from the restaurant as
“Georgia on my mind” came on during lunch!
We got to rest for a
while before heading out to explore the city! I was honestly in awe the whole
time. Everywhere you turn, there are mountain ranges and historic buildings.
Today has just been taking everything in and learning as much as we can for day
one. The next few days are tourist adventures before we head to Trujillo to
shadow and take classes. I am so excited!
1. I got voted most likely girl to blend in here
2. They have mate de coca tea for altitude sickness which is illegal in US but keeping us all alive
3. The toilet flushes in the opposite directions as the states because we are below the equator
4. And lastly… those cute teenage girls holding baby lambs and alpacas who take a picture with you are more than ready to scam you and its ends in “firm hannah” getting the policia involved! My trust for all people may need to be well on guard but over all we feel very safe here!
All in all, I LOVE IT!
I love my group and I love this amazing opportunity. As much as I am enjoying
being a tourist first, I am so incredibly excited to begin shadowing!
Buenas Noches!
