Before the Adventure Begins

Hello to everyone,

As many of you know, I am about to embark on an adventure of a lifetime...(yeah, it's cheesy, but so, so true!)

I will be using this blog site to keep track of my daily experience for a couple of reasons. First, this is probably the best way to keep my parents from having continuous sleep deprivation as they worry about me being Puno. Secondly, I will make my entries "breve, bonito, and barato" (short and sweet) for the purpose of my professors and classmates to learn a bit more of my daily activities and insights. Finally, I offer this opportunity for anyone who has an interest to ask questions about the Peruvian Aymara society and open up a forum to develop cross-cultural communication with locals in Puno.

Alrightie...short and sweet as promised....Peru, here I come!
