Right now Im writing you from Lima, Peru. We arrived here on Tuesday from Colombia. Colombia was amazing, not at all what I had pictured; a collection of slums in a druglord's paridise. Colombia was one of the cleanest, safest and most culturally diverse places we visited. We spent the bulk of our 2 weeks in Medellin, known for their vast collection of Ferdinando Botero's artwork (he paints and sculpts the really routund portraits of people, places and things) and, among other things, Pablo Escobars' grave site. We stayed at a really cool hostel and did a lot of sight seeing before heading to a little farm 40 minutes outside of the city. It was a quiet little place nestled in the Andes that gave us a beautiful view over the valley. It was a nice to get out of the city and into the country, it gave us a lot of time to reflect on the busy past couple of months.
Tomorrow we set off for the city of Cusco. The jumping off point for Machu Picchu. We have enjoyed our time in Lima and eaten our fair share of Chinese food. Lima's famous for their Chinese cuisine and rightfully so; it is tasty! Even so, with only 2 months remaining, we want to crack the whip. We want to get to Argentina in about 10 days and start looking for jobs on a winery. Money is running low and so are the souls of our shoes, so staying put for a little bit would be a welcomed change.
We will try to keep you all in the know, but internet time has been slim to none and with only one computer to share time is at a premium. Well, I've got two big German women looking over my shoulder so... Adios!
