Where in the world is Carson Duffy?
I am in Cusco (there is no international spelling- it can be Cusco or Cuzco-but everything here says Cusco). On the map that's in the lower-ish, right hand corner.
Population- about 360,000
Altitude- 11,200 feet
It's day one and I already have plans in the making to visit/hike Macchu Picchu, Lake Titicaca, maybe go to Chili and Bolivia for a few days. Might as well explore right?!
I am staying in a house with 15 other volunteers, so far we represent the USA, Canada, New Zealand, and Russia (I think). I am living in a room with a girl from Washington, DC and a girl from Ontario. We have a "staff" who cook all of our meals and clean up after us.. I know.. a bit ridicuous right?! Everyone here is super nice. The grace of God can certainly be seen in the kindness of strangers.
I start volunteering on Tuesday, I'm not sure what my placement is yet.. hopefully I will be able to walk!
Ok, a few other things..
The Time Difference
North Carolina – Peru = + 1 hour (Peru 8:15am , NC 9:15am)
Tennessee – Peru = the same time!
Morocco – Peru = + 5 hours (Peru 8:20 am, Morocco 1:20pm)
Argentina – Peru = + 2 hours (Peru 8:20 am, Argentina 10:20 am)
Alright, dinner time! Everyone here wants to go out for guinea pig after dinner... I haven't decided whether that or an early bed time sounds more appealing...
Love to all!
How was the plane ride and transfers? Glad you here you made it to your new home. I cant believe you left a home with staff to another home with staff. How luxurious is that?
ReplyDeleteI guess making friends was no trouble. Just a few minutes. What schools are represented? Enjoy the guinea pigs. All I can think of is Gilburt and his big brown eyes. He was a cute little fur ball. May he rest in piece.
We love you. Papa
The real question is... Where in the world is Carmen Electra?
ReplyDeleteWhere in the world is Ron Jeremy...
ReplyDeleteGlad I caught you last night on fb and that you arrived safely! Hope you followed my strict flying surveillance protocol ;) Oh, and if you hike to lake Titicaca be sure to take a bar of soap.. Just saying.
