a quickie from Peru

Ok so this has to be quick. I´ve been on the internet too long and Bridget is waiting for me to get dinner! It has been a wonderful first evening and day in Peru with adventures galore already I´ll fill in later. I really have to pick up a journal in Cusco tomorrow. So I think I may be going to Nicaragua for my job!!! So exciting I am just waiting to hear back from Belinda, the woman who I might be working with. This summer is going to be crazy but I am looking forward to it all. Ok comida! Bridget´s found restaurants and they close at 8....more from Cusco! chao.

Entering the world of blogging

So I'm new to this. Be gentle, blogosphere. I thought it about time to start this thing they call a blog as I am on the cusp of so many new things in my life. Having graduated from college just 2 days ago, I am only 6 days away from spending three weeks in Peru with my "sister from another mother" and only a few months from spending a year and a half in another country working for social justice. When I traveled to Thailand 2 years ago, I sent out emails to practically every person I knew. They were, I'm told, PAINFULLY detailed and very few people actually took the time to read through every word. I don't blame them. I also hate having my in-box full to the brim, and so this page with be available and kept up to date with reflections on my future endeavors. Read them at your leisure. I apologize in advance for writing a book with each post. Please know that as I travel to Peru and to (hopefully*) another Latin American country for the next year and a half, I will do my best to explain any Spanish words or phrases that I slip in. But always feel free to post a comment and scold me for being insensitive and not elaborating on the meaning of palabras en espanol.

Coming soon to a post near you...where I will be for the next year and a half! Trust me I am as anxious as you are.
