The latest (or most recent) fun thing that I've done was to go to the Pearl Jam concert in Lima!!! I went with my friends Mari and Erin and it was the BEST! We were so far from the stage that we could hardly see the band, but that didn't stop us from dancing and singing our hearts out! It was an absolute blast!
The greatest would be my 10 day trip to Cusco, Machu Picchu, Puno, and Lake Titicaca with my parents! However, I have soooo much to tell you about that trip that I'm going to save it for when finals are done and I have more time to write! In the meantime, here's a picture of the three of us at Machu Pichhu!
There's a whole lot of stuff that fits in between the latest and greatest... For example, the other weekend I went surfing for the first time! That was pretty sweet! I was pretty nervous at first, but my friend Kati helped me with some mantras and soon enough they came true! I ended up having a really fun time, despite swallowing waaayy to much salt water. Here's a picture of the gang stretching in our wetsuits before we jumped into the cold water!
Other activity that falls between the latest and greatest is going to Huancayo. My friends Kati, Mari, Morgane, and I all took the World's Second Highest train to Huancayo. It was spectacular. Here's a picture of the train on the turn table. Some of the turns were so sharp that we would have to take switchbacks where the direction of the train would change while we zigzagged up the mountains.
Here are a few pictures of the breath-taking scenery that we saw along the way to Huancayo!
Here are a couple of the stops on our tour:
1. La Laguna de Paca
2. Trout fishing at El Encanto restaurant.
Guess what we had for lunch....
The restaurant also happened to have a way cool treehouse! Sa-weet!
Well I'd say that was a pretty good study break! I hope that this blog can tide you over until I can get around to posting the next one!
Until then,
Katie :)
