El Jueves - 6/19 - Adios Peru :(

I am writing this in Lima airport as I wait for my plane to Chile.  Today I must say goodbye to Perú and goodbye to all the amazing people I have grown so close to on this trip.  I had an unforgettable, amazing, spectacular, great, wonderful, superb, beautiful, life-changing, unbelievable… okay you get the point… time on this trip and I will never forget my time here in this amazing country. 

To all the students on the trip, thank you so much for being an awesome bunch of people to share this new experience with.  I couldn’t have asked for a better, kinder, more fun group.  I truly cherish the experiences I had on this trip with all of you.

To everybody who helped make this trip possible (other than Monica, she gets her own paragraph) - the people with the travel agency, Jenny, my host mom, the people at El Sol, and Henry – THANK YOU SO MUCH.  You guys worked so hard behind the scenes to make this trip what it was.  I feel like we didn’t give you guys enough credit for all the work you did, but thank you so much.

Finally, to Monica… It goes without saying that you were the backbone to this trip.  You organized it, you planned it, and finally you led it.  Your kind-heart and light spirit is part of what made this trip as special as it was.  You truly wanted us to enjoy ourselves and learn as much as we possibly could.  I know that sometimes we gave you a hard time for packing our schedule so tightly.  But in retrospect, looking back, I wouldn’t change a thing about how you organized this trip… not a thing.  But to sum it all up, thank you Monica for showing us your native country and culture.  I loved both and I can’t wait to go back to learn and experience more.


¡Hasta la próxima vez Perú!
