Day 4 We woke up again at 6:00, ready to have breakfast at 6:30, and be off the ship promptly at 8:00am. The ship had other ideas in store so we were off the ship promptly at about 8:15am [when it finished docking] and when we did get off it was raining. But it wasContinue reading “Cruisers of the Caribbean Pt. 2”

Cruisers of the Caribbean Pt. 1
Well friends, it has finally happened. I wrote a blog so dang long that WordPress’s editor couldn’t really load my photos, or upload new photos, or load that many words, and so I’ve been forced to split my blog into multiple posts in order to accommodate. So before you continue on this journey, just beContinue reading “Cruisers of the Caribbean Pt. 1”
Camping at the Base of the Grand Canyon

We did our research beforehand, and headed down to the park armed with the National GeographicContinue reading “Presidential Perambulations: Death Valley Edition”

I didn’t have any concrete plans after graduation, he didn’t have any concrete plans after graduation. He’d been my travel buddy through all of Argentina, it seemedContinue reading “#thatpueblolife AKA The Austin Appreciation Post”

May in Trujillo
And so my time in Trujillo begins to draw to a close… The sunsets here continue to be pretty spectacular, but for some reason the sun now sets in the northwest instead of the southwest which is what Austin and I are accustomed to and it sets later every day. Currently the sun sets atContinue reading “May in Trujillo”
Festival Season
April and May mark the coming of Spring here in Trujillo which means the tourists are coming back, the sun is coming back, and the festivals are coming back. For Austin and I, that means our weekends have gotten a lot more interesting so we tend to stick around Trujillo to enjoy our local festivalsContinue reading “Festival Season”
