April 26th, 2019 Today, we had to rest and explore Cusco and set up our tours to decide what we wanted to do with our next 10 days here. As I mentioned before, there is SO much in Peru to do, you really have to pick and choose if you have limited time. Last night…

Day 81 – Lima to Cusco, Peru
April 25th, 2019 Today we got to sleep in and had an easy day before our afternoon flight to Cusco. Brendan worked on school and wasn’t feeling all that well. Yesterday afternoon he started to have some stomach issues and had a rough night. He rested as much as he could and took advantage of…
Day 80 – Lima, Peru
April 24th, 2019 There is so much to do and see in Peru, it is hard to decide what you can fit in. I was torn today whether we should do a 4am wake-up, and go on a day trip to the desert, or go to another really nice area of Lima to be on…
Day 79 – Lima, Peru
April 23, 2019 After a 2am wakeup we flew from Santiago to Lima, Peru landing around 7am. The public transportation system in Lima is not nearly as good as in the other cities we had visited. We were told a taxi was our only, and safest option to get to our downtown hostel. Taking a…
Day 78 – Santiago, Chile
April 22nd, 2019 Today, Brendan was working on school, so I explored on my own. At first it was difficult for me not to have a phone (Brendan’s phone only works on WiFi so it doesn’t do much good when you are out exploring). However, I started to get used to not having my phone…
Day 77 – Santiago, Chile
April 21st, 2019 Happy Easter! We celebrated it by sleeping in! We had a leisurely morning and took our time getting ready for the day. We switched to a different apartment down the road today because the WiFi wasn’t very good at the one we were in. We got to our new apartment and it…
Day 76 – Santiago, Chile
April 20, 2019 Today, we had another free walking tour that took us through Santiago’s markets and ended in the cemetery. We have seen quite a few cemeteries in Latin America at this point, and this was definitely the largest one. You could fit 117 soccer stadiums in this cemetery and over two million people…
Day 75 – Santiago, Chile
April 19th, 2019 Today we woke up after napping in the Santiago airport and started our day taking the local bus from the airport to city center. Once there, we got on the subway until we reached Santa Lucia (an area of downtown Santiago). We were there very early in the morning, so I knew…
Day 74 – Buenos Aires, Argentina
April 18th, 2019 Today we parted ways with Taylor as she was going to Peru and Brendan and I were going to spend five days in Santiago, Chile. In the morning we said goodbye. Taylor had one more night in Buenos Aires and Brendan and I were flying out that night to Santiago. She headed…
Day 73 – Buenos Aires, Argentina
April 17th, 2019 Today Brendan had to work on more school studies for the first part of the day and Taylor was still on a shopping mission. I walked around with Taylor awhile before heading to the neighborhood of San Telmo. I went to the San Telmo market and wandered around that part of town. …
