Hey everyone! Momo (pictures in front of the largest glacier in the southern hemisphere) and I just got off the 4 day boat ride from Puerto Montt to Puerto Natales. It was amazing! We saw lots of wild life, dolphins, whales, sea lions, and a plethera of unique birds, as well as glaciers and a small town of 150 people, only accessible by boat. No cars exist in this remote place! The boat has many options for sleeping arrangements, al of them expensive, ranging...

Hey Everyone! Hope things are going well in the states! Well, on Friday, Momo and I left from Lima, Peru to Santiago, Chile. It was a 52 hour bus ride!! It wasnt as bad as I though, actually. I thought my mind was going to explode of boredom or back pains. But really, the only annoying thing was loud cumbia music from time to time. Something we are already used to.

We played soccer, football, ultimate Frisbee, and a little rugby (just the two of us who knew how to play). Bu...

Hey Everyone! Hope you are well in the states. Peru 14, my group in Peace Corps, held its Close of Service Conference, our last opportunity to be all together. Most of these people, probably 30 of the 50 of us who finished our service, I will never see again. 20 of which I will see less frequently in the states, but hopefully keep in contact via internet and phone calls. (The picture is of Peru 14 who completed service) The Conference itself was not as sad a...
