Packing up

We leave for Peru tomorrow night, so don't expect to hear from me for a while. I'm going to be busy climbing mountains, petting Alpaca, not getting pick-pocketed, and asking for vegetarian meals in broken Spanish.

Maybe I'll send some postcards that won't be received until I return, which will hopefully be with some good souvenirs and an Andean tan. Though that might just be a bad sunburn due to high altitudes. Plus, it's winter there. I'm packing long underwear for sleeping in the tent. I don't think they make "tan-thru" long underwear.

Think of this as my pre-Peruvian ramble. That's all for now.

That sounds like such FUN! The Koala and Alpaca can pet each other lovingly... Life is beautiful.

OMG! Good luck! And one little tip: don't get caught up in the South American drug trade. I do not want to turn to CNN and see images of you lying on the floor, handcuffed, while the US customs officers search your long underwear for Kilos of dope. Fight the temptation! Oh, and don't forget about looking for sexy Peruvian men who might be looking to get their "papeles" fixed by an attractive 100% Mexican female. :)
Love you and be safe.
