PERU

I guess I really haven't given an update on overall Peru. I'm having fun!! Meanwhile, I miss home! We are traveling with the Dunn's(our friends from Alaska who moved to Panama). This has been a blast! We found out that Grandma Schmitter is coming on the 29Th and we are all VERY excited about this! We have all sorta fallen in love with Ollantaytambo, we packed up today, were completely ready to go and....we decided to stay one more night and do one more horse-bike ride!! Today we went rafting! It was reaaaally FUN! We had the all American experience(but WAY cheaper)a great guide, AWESOME equipment and lunch on the river side! It was class three in one part but in most only class two. The class three was awesome and exciting but the rest was a Little slow but still VERY fun!! In the class two we got to sit bull( on the very front of the raft with one hand) this was thrilling! In one part of the river Kenna, Noelle and I were all sitting bull and.. Kenna (or as she puts it I) grabbed on to each other right as a big wave came and boom! We fell and the water splashed all over us! We were drenched! Back to the Peru update! Highlights for me have been... Machu Picchu and Lima and Ollantaytambo. OK, I guess that's like every where I have been but its all cool! How are all of you? I miss you all and I miss AK!! So... tomorrow we head to Lago Titicaca( titi is from Peru and Caca from Bolivia!) wait not tomorrow but the next day tomorrow we go to Cusco to do MOMS hike. Whatever. Cusco is OK but I like Ollay a lot better! In the morning tomorrow we are going to go horseback riding again! It was so much fun we had to do it again! Its an early wake up (8:00) not compared to the farm but for me hey I'm on vacation! Hope you all had WONDERFUL holidays!! By the way.. two months left till home SWEET home!!
