Just so everyone knows, this is my first blog ever.  Just a warning :).

Less than two weeks till Peru!  I am trying to enjoy American luxuries before I leave (i.e. constant and fast internet connection, a seemingly never-ending hot water supply, and hanging out with family and friends in Oregon).  I just got my visa and medical clearance, so things are coming together very quickly!

To give you an idea of where I am heading off to, here are some pics:

Miraflores, Lima, where I will be spending half of my time.  Usually, it is never this sunny.

The main square of Cusco - home of 16th century cathedrals, lots of tourists, and sketch Peruvian males.

Where I work - it is so beautiful!
