Hey all!

Hope things are going well in the states. Now that I fully accept and understand the concept that I am leaving, basically, forever in less than 4 months, I have been trying to live up my peace corps experience to the fullest. Two weekends ago, I traveled to Ingenio in Nazca to play in the oasis(THE PICTURE POSTED) and climb some mountains, and this last weekend, I went camping in the mountains of Ica, 3 hours from Palpa. I have noticed some friends becoming sentimental, others distancing themselves, others argumentative, probably anticipating the separation. Its easier to push away than to be left broken hearted, right? As for myself, I have found that I am becoming increasingly more and more sentimental. Its sad to think that these people that I spend so much time with and that understand me to a profound extent will leave, and continue the part of their life that I know nothing about. Who knows if or when we will see each other again. We will all be sad. Where will they go? Where will I go? What I do know, is that I am always looking forward to the next adventure. (it pretty much dictates my life) Which would be traveling through South America for a few months, then thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail for 6 months. Its almost like our lives have been put on hold for 2 years. After the trail, perhaps I will live in Colorado and work as an engineer for the government for a while. If not, my older sister has already put me on her lease.

Miss you too Djuna!

Happy adventures!
