peru, aqui yo vengo!



i leave on october 3rd. i'm going to to hunt down this view. it's stunning. to be honest, i know less than nothing about this place. two months of my life will be spent there and i saw this picture was like "huh, so that's what it looks like.. not bad at all." i'll let you know how accurate that really is. i set up my "days left" counter and it's at 49. i remember when it was 49 days until we left for mexico and that trip has come and gone.

i'm a lot more nervous than i'm letting on, but really, and i'm almost embarrassed to admit it, one of the main sources of my hesitation is the fact that i will be without pete for that long. it seems unbearable. you know that old saying absence makes the heart grow fonder? man, that shit is true.

(ps. does that title make any sense? combing through spanish phrase books is a tough way to learn the language.)
