catching up

Well  it has being a while since my last blog, and to be honest i have been kind of lazy about it.

 

So to make things short i will not say that much about Ecuador since Dan, Cory and Jordan have wrote so much about their experiences there.

 

Mmmmmmm well yes im going to say one thing, the country is awesome, and we were able to meet a lady that housed Che Guevara in Cuba in 1951.

 

Well we are currently in Arica Chile, we just got here from Peru this morning and so far we are loving it. The first thing we did when we got to Chile was get a taxi from the bus station to McDonalds, we were so hungry that we all got 2 cheeseburgers each. After that we got to a hostal, I had a good shower and we walked around the city for a little while, ate pizza, fed a dog and went back to the hostal again.

 

Well now let me get back to a few days ago, well to be more exact lets back up a week ago. On october 23 we got a bus from Loja Ecuador to Piura Peru. When we got to the city i was just praying to God, dont allow us to stay here, im not trying to be mean or disrespectful but Piura was full of trash on the street and it looked so dirty that i just wanted to get out of there. So we all came to the agreement that we should go to the next city Trujillo Peru, and the story was repeated again and thanks to God we all agreed to head on to the next city, Lima, and well in was not such a big difference between the past two cities and since we need to fly back home from Lima we decided to continue more to the south, so we headed to Pisco Peru. We were all aware that so far Peru was not our favorite country to stay in but we needed to do something there so we got a hostal and stayed there for almost a week, it was not because we loved it so much, but was because there was so much need there. We were able to do the biggest good deed so far in this trip, a home makeover peruvian edition. (Im sure most of you guys are aware of that, if not check the web site lol)

 

Peru is not one of our favorites (except Machu picchu ) but is the one where we were able to be close to the people and got to see how people live there, and also is the place where we did a lot of physical work building Jimmy's house.

 

It was not all bad in Peru, we were actually able to visit Machu picchu this past Monday and the place rocks! funny fact (Jordan pooped on the Machu pichu ruins) unfortunately Dan was unable to go with us since he was sick with a stomach infection. We were hit with some stomach infections in peru, but thanks to God we are all fine now or a least a lot better.

 

Well i promise not to go another two weeks without posting our experiences since we only have 10 more days on this trip.
