The worst part of travelling is travelling....

Last night in Peru yesterday. Got my drink on with our tour guide Vlad and the Brits Alex and Lucy (who will be with me in the Galapagos). I still can't figure out what the drinks were that we are having in this pic... they are served flaming!Confirmed what the locals already know: white girls can`t salsa. Went to bed at 3, wake up call at 6:45 to catch my flight to Quito, Ecuador. Am currently posting from the airport in Lima.... still legally drunk for sure. Had I been sober this morning, I maybe would have checked my flight status and known that it has been delayed for 2 hours. Alas, will be sleeping in a corner for a while somewhere!

Christmas is has certainly arrived in Peru.... decorations everywhere! Making me miss the weeks leading up to Xmas when mom saddles me with elaborate craft projects and gift wrapping! Passed by a nativity scene the other day complete with dinosaurs, reindeer and a giraffe! Christmas in warm climates is strange. The Peruvians tell their kids that Santa just walks in the front door, since none of them have chimneys!

Will likely not be posting until I am back in Quito on Dec 22, or home in T.O., as I leave for the Galapagos islands early tomorrow morning. Will be on a boat for 5 days exploring the different islands... sweet! Other than the hangover, the massive blisters from the hike, and the burning ant bites, I am have an amazing time!! Can`t wait for my Galapagos adventure and snorkeling with the sea lions. Trip has gone by so fast... can`t believe that I only have a week left! See you all soon!
