Rima,Peru

El Rio Rima era el rio que corria en Peru cuando los Inkas vivian aqui en paz.Despuesllegaron los espanoles y le prguntaron a los Inkas como se llamaba el lugar.Los Inkas decian, "Rima, Rima" y los Espanoles oyeron, "Lima, Lima" Y asi fue llamado el estado de Lima, Peru. Ahorita estoy en la Casa Mirasol en el distrito de Mirasol en Lima,Peru. Es muy Lindo. Y creo que yo pudiera vivir aqui. I love Peru... the people and the City of Lima have so far been impressive. Of course capitalism and commercialization never fail me as there is, YES, a Starbucks just a block away from here. Quiero un grande late de vallinia con leche descremada y dos extra shots! Seriously! We ate cebiche and tried the Peruvian offical drink...t he Pisque Sour. It was so sweet as a matter of fact everything in Peru is sweet. A mi papa le encataria Peru, verdad papi?! No vayas estar comiendote todo el Ice Cream. Comi camote y sopade pescado y last but not least a mate de coca so i can prepare myself for the 3am departure from Lima to the high altitude State of Cusco. I am still nervous about carrying my 30lb pack but I think I can do it. I already miss my family! But I know it is mamitis aguda and that I will be fine.I love you mom.

For all those of you thinking about visiting Peru. Do it. It is a great place with lots to see and lots to do. I hope you don't mind a cabby honking at you every other minute. Miss you all and send me some comments so that I can fell connected to you.

Much love.
