Hi everyone, Yes it has been a while, but don't worry, we are still alive. We are curently in Lima, where we are waiting to catch a flight out to Costa Rica later today. We will spend a week in Tambor Beach, then head back to Vancouver by plane/train/bus. We have spent the last two weeks travelling with Maya's parents in Cusco and the Peruvian jungle. After our last post in Cochabamba, we made our way to Copacabana and Lake Titicaca, then on to Cusco to met ...

Hi everybody! Hope you are all doing well. We are finally getting some much needed down time here in Cochabamba.
