Almost at the end...

Hi again from Peru!
It´s hard to believe, but I have only 3days left in this lovely country, and of my trip. I can admit that I am looking forward to coming home, but I am not ready to face the real world again quite yet.
This last week has been exciting and fun and a little chaotic...I first spent 3 days white water rafting, which was definately not the best thing for my health, since I was pretty sick, but it was a blast. We would raft all day, then set up camp alongside the river for the night. We were literally in the middle of nowhere, so the night skies were absolutely incredible. The amount of stars was amazing, and we could see the milky way perfectly. Very cool! And let me tell you...wetsuits are very humbling. Man oh man, I thought I had been getting fit being so active in peru, but wetsuits are very unforgiving to those extra few pounds. So I looked verrryyy sexy for 3 days. Back to cusco for a night or 2, and then the plan was to do to the Ausangate trek, which is 4 days and 3 nights, mostly on horses. It is supposed to take you to some of the most beautiful views in Peru...mostly snow-capped mountains, so its verrryyyy cold. Long story short (this is another one that you just have to ask me about), the company we picked was terrible. The horses were crazy, the guides were awful, and it was just not good. My friend Roni was thrown off his horse towards the end of day one, which we used as our excuse to turn around the next morning and get the hell out of there. It was unfortunate that we didnt make it to the views, but it started snowing on the first day, so I managed to see at least some snowy mountains! Quite an experience, camping in the winter and hiking in the snow...and I dont think I need to do it again. And riding horses for so long is painful!!

So now i have 2 more days to relax in Cusco, and then its back home! I´m really looking forward to seeing everyone so soon!

mucho amor!
