A lot of work has been done....

It's the weekend, everyone so I'm back!!!!

I want to Thank everyone for checking out my blog, I am still looking forward to your questions or comments. However, until I get some I guess that means I am keeping you informed. This week has been a busy work week for us

Just a little glimpse of our upcoming market for the village

Don't mind me, I'm paying attention. after all this is our lunch. It was being prepared the Andean way of Pachamanka. (lamb,chicken and a Variety of potatoes) Yum!! The smell was divine.

After we returned back to work, we decided to take a look at how our market would actually work, Here are a few villagers selling their homemade goods that we can use as keepsakes.

BEAUTIFUL!!!! is all I can say about the village that I'm living in, Look at the view....

We finished out our week with a bonfire that Feliciano and Miguel made for us. We also had a change to enjoy..... You guessed it S'mores, Popcorn and Hot Chocolate!!

My time here is coming to a sad end, however I am so happy to have been a part of such a great experience. This weekend we head to Machu Picchu, I can't wait to share those memories with you also....

What's a break without fresh air?

It is natural for us humans to become complacent with our lives, the people, and the opportunities at our disposal. This behavior is innate and completely understandable. Think about it, if you saw a [beach] everyday, you may not view it with the excitement of someone who grew up days away from the ocean. This is not due to a lack of appreciation, but rather because [it] was at your becking call, [it] was easily... accessible. Take a chance and try something new, you never know what awaits I think many of us can agree that humans are often habitual creatures. More often then not, our lives get busy and we find comfort in our routines. The increasingly fast-paced, urbanized, and technologically advanced nature of society does not help combat this tendency. Luckily, there are currently 61 National Parks across the United States that can provide the change of environment and therapeutic experiences many of us subconsiously seek. https://www.mapsofworld.com/usa/national-parks...

1 year in the box

It has been quite a bit since my last post, however now that it is summer and I have more free time I will be sure to try and update on a normal basis once again. The long second semester has come to end... well, that is a bit of an overstatement because the time sure did fly by. Exams, hangouts, a first all- nighter and lunch dates. Those four things pretty much sum up the semester, and although it has come to an end, life continues and the next chapter began in a great way. After moving out of the dorm and bidding farewell to the campus for the next few months we passed some time sitting down and enjoying boba . We then took a tour of the library exhibits (Beethoven and Steinbeck) before heading to the hotel. We enjoyed some great gyros and then called it a night. Enough for 2 One of the keys to a successful trip is a happy driver and food of course. Luckily both of those were present and by morning we were on the road for our next st...

Where Now?

First off I want give a sincere Thank You to everyone who made the trip to Canada great and who supported and showed up to my party. Took a bit to get there, but the trip was thoroughly enjoyed and seeing/ spending time with you all made my summer (and it isn't even over yet.) Where to next? well you will just have to stay tuned! You mean no 5 o'clock traffic? The blueberries weren't out yet, but at least these guys were around Just something about a country lifestyle that makes you happy It was all gone so fast When you realize afterwards that you didn't photograph your food Looking a little thirsty I was... pretty stoked to see a few bees buzzing

It's Only Up From Here
