Like Its a wonderful country that I never totally enjoyed. I loved all the great places I have been. enjoyed the company of many wonderful people. Peruvians have a warm and open culture and fascinitating history, both recent and past. I have heard incredible stories, and met people doing incredible work, both back breaking menial and intellectually inspired. Some of the cities here are amazing. Arequipa is gorgeous colonial buildings carved from white volcanic stone and painted in happy colourful streets. Its refined. I went to the russian ballet performance of swan like. I can comfortably say that I have know everything there is to know about ballet now. Expect to hear many arrogant stories where I assert my superior ballet knowledge on the basis of this occasion. Lima is sweet but melancholy. The coastal mist lies over the city for eight months every hear. There is no sun. Its big, its dirty, its opulant. I had nothing but good times there. I lived three lovely weeks on the coast, the little surf town Huanchaco kept me constantly meeting new and fascinating company. I learnt a lot about Americans and rested up good. I have been Homesick through all of Peru, and I think its been stopping me really get into the place. But just as I`m leaving, getting on a Amazon barge for a 3 day travel to the tri border with Colombia and Brazil tomorrow, I`ve realised I am having more fun travelling than I would be at home. The last month in Peru is the happiest I have felt in my life.
I miss everyone at home, and some of my road buddies lots. And I can`t wiat to see you all when we do. But I`m gonna be living in Colombia for 2 months before I come home, and can´t wait for a new country (especially one where the beauty of the women is so famed).
