Day: 424
.
Two days ago we returned home, beat up and weary from the last three months on the road. The next morning after arriving home in the middle of the night I was sitting on the couch, when my step dad, Mike, asked me; “This seemed to be your hardest trip yet, huh?”.
I sat there [...]

More Lima.
Day: 422
We are just two days away from being off back to California for the summer, and our travel exhaustion has fully set in. After months on the road, you get worn out and just want to see your bed again and return to something familiar, although I find this usually only lasts [...]
Day: 421
Today we saw the Hornimans Anis…
Just say it out loud…
Hornimans Anis…
Umm… Yeah. Peruvian Supermarkets are the best.
We also managed to hit up the Catacombs below some church (lots of “No photo” signs were up, but I didn’t really feel like that applied to me) and saw the changing of the guards outside of Peru’s [...]
Day: 420
I am currently in the midst of an end-of-trip funk that is normally associated with me being back in the big city I will be flying out from. We have 3 more days before heading back to California for the summer.
Day: 419
A simple 4 hour bus ride into Lima? Sounds simple huh? For a second we forgot we were in South America and actually thought it would be that easy.
We were told that buses leave every 10 minutes to Lima, so after a long breakfast we all packed our bags and caught a taxi into [...]
Day: 418
Today was Felicia’s birthday, so we jammed packed it with stuff to do.
We started at 6am and headed out to the”poor mans Galapagos” (aka Isla Balletas) and checked out the sea lions and birds for a few hours. We followed that up with a lazy lunch, a quick nap and then and [...]
Day: 417
Wine and Pisco tasting today. You may have never heard of Peru’s illustrious wine making history, but that could be because it’s not quite as memorable as France, California, New Zealand, Argentina or Chile, instead it looked like a home brewing process and the Pisco (which originated here) burns like fire on its [...]
Day: 416
We arrived today in the middle of the desert at an oasis named Huacachina. After visiting 4 places we found somewhere to stay and spent the remainder of the day enjoying the laziness that is required by a town of 200 people (with possibly another 400 tourists).
Day: 415
Today was a pretty standard day when we are planning a huge bus trip in the afternoon, essentially eating a few meals and some pointless wandering (aka Oreo Buying), before loading on our ultra high class VIP seats on a Cruz del Sur bus, think first class airline seats, for an ultra windy road which [...]
