Finally in Nauta! – The Peruvian Amazon

We arrived safely in Nauta on Saturday after a 7 hour flight delay, and 9 bottles of bug spray short. No, we didn’t use it. For some reason Star Peru airlines said it was dangerous, even though we had brought it through two flights with Delta already. We are glad to be with our friends now, but needless to say, I don´t think I’ll be flying Star Peru again. We do still have 5 bottles of blug spray between Chris, MaryBeth, and I, so hopefully it will last. Sorry for not writing a blog post since we got to the Amazon. The internet … Read the rest

I’m not dead! (plus FREE STUFF and Wizard of Oz!)

Hey everyone! I know it has been at least a week since I’ve posted anything on here, so I wanted to let you know: I’m not dead! Now that we’ve gotten that straightened out,  on to something completely different.

These past few weeks have been quite hectic to say the least and until at least the 25th of May, my life will be. Wizard of Oz is almost here, and my classes at Liberty end this Friday, so I have 4 tests to take and at least two more things to write for my classes by then. But although it’s been … Read the rest
