I once again find myself a rather absent blogger – my apologies to those of you who have, for some reason, maintained faith in my posting abilities and continue to see if I’ve mended my ways. The truth is (and yes, I realize this isn’t a very legitimate excuse), the busier I am, the less I blog.
Life has been full of adventures and work. My work in La Oroya is keeping me busy and satisfying – it’s wonderful to see the kids in the CAMBIALO group become increasingly passionate and confident. If you’re interested in what I’m involved with there, please visit our blog, or join our Facebook group, CAMBIALO.
So what have I been doing besides neglecting my blog? Here’s a quick and unorthodox overview of what’s happened since I last wrote:
May
Traveled to Lima to run a 10k race with fellow volunteer Joe
Traveled to jungle town of Villa Rica to put on a peacemaking counselors workshop
Traveled to Cuzco whereupon I met up with my dad and set off on a 4 day hike to the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu. The next week my dad traveled back to Huancayo with me to visit the city for a day.
June
Celebrated my host sister Hayde’s birthday
Traveled to Pichanaki for another workshop in the jungle
Traveled to Mazamari (jungle, workshop, you’ve got the idea)
Climbed Huaytapallana (17,000 ft), a local peak in the Huancayo region
soaking up the sun on the glacier
I hope this has served to catch you up a little on my life in general…as you can see, I’ve been busy! Look forward to more focused blogs soon. Also, remember that if you want to see more photos, just click on my photo links on the right of my page.
