I've made it!

After a solid 14 hours of travelling (really not bad considering I am in Southern Peru!!!! I woke up, climbed the beautiful, finished stairs to the roof to see massive snow capped mountains, a cornfield a block away, two cows living directly across the narrow, dead end road, as well as zillions of homes. An odd juxtaposition,especiallz because surrounding me on the westísh is a low lying, rocky, post-apocalyptic evaporated ocean floor. So far, everything is beautiful in it's own right. There are dogs barking, chickens clucking, and German English and Spanish are all intermixed here. I have some time explore before I go in to meet the kiddos, from kindergarten to sixth grade. It feels natural to be here!
