Jose Antonio (Executive) Lima

At first glance, the meditation ashram seemed like everything we would want in a community: Organic garden, yoga classes, meditation workshops, beach setting... but for some reason it just did not feel right. The organic garden was wonderful but was not reflected in the meager food we were served (potatoes with potatoes for lunch, a slice of apple pie for dinner), the yoga teacher did all of the poses wrong ...

... and 4 citizen tried to stop me and warned me than this is a very dangerous zone, and as a lone gringo with a huge backpack i would be sure to get robbed. I took a safer path and nothing happenned, but it was the 1st time ever that i really felt unsecure in a city.<br><br>Clearly, I preferred Mexico City. They both are colonial city and thus have the same style anyway.<br>

... to the people who stopped to sign hi to Jose&#8217;s sister and all four of them went around the table to give out hugs and kisses to all of us. No words were spoken. It is now into Friday morning and an early morning for me. I am leaving at 7:10. I have a tour from 9-6. It will be neat to see everything. I really enjoy being here. I feel like a part of the family. Probably like Jose felt back in my family. Going to bed very tired.<br>

... two weeks of shirking academic duties (aka dropping and picking up courses after they've ended for the week to avoid work), the University of Virginia Peru Program has grabbed me by the neck and forced me to decide my permanent schedule. In a surprising turn of events -- and after two years of getting royally ****** on course choice -- I'm proud to announce that I actually enjoy the classes that I'm going to be taking this semester. I know what you're ...

... of jail for about 3 months and living on the streets to he does this to unsuspecting tourists so he can get a little money on the side. He mentioned that if he goes back to the US he goes straight to jail for missing child support payments and for now he just lives in La Paz until they kick him out. He was wearing the same clothes that I saw him in 2 weeks earlier and he&#8217;s bare feet were disgusting, he was also a drug addict so I didn&#8217;t bother pushing to get my ...

Well our first day in Peru was pretty uneventful, but lets rewind a little to the flight here. Flying out of LA was crazy we stood in line for at least two hours but we can honestly say it wasn´t our airlines fault. So many people brought so many bags (when our hispanics going to stop packing so many bags lol that includes me). Our airline Taca was a pretty decent choice. This airline still functions like the old days. We got a full breakfast and ...

... is that this is a renowned library of approximately 25,000 books. weird, right? i dont know why they have the same number of books, as dead people. (when i go back...i will try and take some photos of the catacombs, bones, bones everywhere!) We ended in Miraflores, which is where my hotel is. it is kind of the touristy, rich part of town. it is funny because everyone told me to stay in miraflores...so glad i will be in barranco!

... a long day on the road, we ended at Puno where Hermogenes (hired by Percy) met us and whisked us to the Casona Plaza Hotel. <br> We found a great hamburguesa around the corner at Fina Estampa. Tomorrow: Lake Titicaca. <br><br><br><br><br>Thursday, April 30, 2009 <br>Today after breakfast, we left for the boat dock and set out on a 20-passenger small boat. Extremely slow, about 6 knts I guess .The highest lake in ...

Arrive in Lima off another two hour flight and am pretty bowled over when the taxi driver tells me its a city of ten million. I stay out in the middle class Miraflores suburb which, with its shopping centres, chain stores, decent restaurants and leafy central park dedicated to JFK, would sit comfortably in any prosperous American city. Take a stroll around the city ...
