Hrm… I can already tell I´m not going to like this locutorio thing. Internets are slower than what we have at home! Plus no LiveWriter or Photoshop… sad times.

Let me fill you in. My backpack was stolen last weekend on a bus we were taking to Moquegua. It was literally stored right above our heads… ¡Ladrones son expertos! Sadly my backpack had my laptop, half of my clothes (including my Chaco sandals), and all of my prescription meds. Going to file a police report today, and hoping that our homeowners insurance does what it says it should and covers it all.

In other news… We´re on the move.

We will be leaving Arequipa in about two weeks, after a trip to the Colca Canyon. We´re wrapping up our Spanish lessons, and starting to take things off the walls in our apartment. It feels like we just got here, although I´m super stoked to get to Trujillo and the immense number of ruins in Northern Peru.

We also bought our tickets for moving back home, home! That felt good given what a bummer weekend it was… (Note: We also consoled ourselves by eating dinner at Burger King on Saturday, and Domino´s on Sunday. Taking solace in American fast food just felt like the right thing to do.)

We´re going to swing through Australia before landing in Seattle on August 9th. Scott´s mom lives in Brisbane, and he´s never visited. It seemed like the right time, given we were going to have to fork out the cash to get ourselves home anyway. This was only nominally more expensive.

That´s the plan

I´m planning on becoming one with the locutorio, at the very least to keep up my pace of posting on here. Don´t plan on very many photos!! I will do my best.
