Today was my last day in Lima for the next week. Tonight will consist of packing up everything in the room and ciphering through the rubble of clothing to throw into my duffle bag. I’m packing light for this trip even though we’ll be gone for six days. One pair of pants (two max) and two shirts, that’s all. I haven’t done laundry yet. All my clothes from Iquitos are in a giant garbage bag. They’re staying there.

I’m relieved to be entering a new part of the country. A part that is more what I was expecting of Peru and way farther from the coast and Western influence, I guess you could say. I’m excited to experience the culture and enjoy the highlands. A change of scenery will be pleasant, and they have sun there!

Sangria is delicious.
