Tomorrow is going to be action-packed. Or, just packed. I have to make another trip to the Migration Department because I didn’t get my Andean Migration Card from the customs guy at the airport last night. I’m starting to think they don’t like me over there because last time they… Read more“… But Only 2 for 4 at the Customs Desk”

Four Time "Red Light/Green Light" Champion
St. Louis Lambert Airport1:22PMNo free public wifi. You win again, Kansas City. Check in was automated but lineless. In some type of survival of the fittest scenario you would have to spot a free kiosk and jump there before someone else beat you to it. At the security station it… Read more“Four Time "Red Light/Green Light" Champion”
Not Enough Happens in Peru
Peruvians’ Mysterious Illness Nearly 150 Peruvians claim that they have been made ill by a meteor that crashed in Carangas a week ago. What do you think?
My flight home was relatively painless though it seems like the pushiest people fly in the middle of the night from Lima. One of my checked luggage was a woven plastic bag, which is a proven method of taking my stuff home from previous years. In the airport I was… Read more“”
I Have Two Days Left, What Could Possibly Happen?

It was my going-away party with my coworkers. We just came back to our tables after a… Read more“Can I Rent a Smoking?”
Burger Was The Taste that They Gave Me
Since I lost my credit cards here in Peru, I have a limited amount of cash to live off of. I guess I could borrow from those around me, but I rather not. To pinch centimos I found an even better source of tasty food, as cheap as the free… Read more“Burger Was The Taste that They Gave Me”
Notes on Peru
Having negotiated the bus system, I found that the “random” words on the side of the buses do in fact describe their route. I thought one of the guides I had read said to not trust the writing. I have always been dropped off where I wanted to go if… Read more“Notes on Peru”
Touring the South Coast
Last weekend the students and I were led on a tour of southern Peru by Lin, who works… wow we just had a small earthquake*. Anyway, he works at the same museum the bioarchaeology students and I work at and he’s helped us to adjust a great deal. While the… Read more“Touring the South Coast”
Me Robó
The title sounds like I’m telling you that I’m a robot, but it actually means that I was robbed. Which I was, unfortunately. Thursday morning began like any other. I wake up 2 hours before I have to go to work. I surf the net for 90 minutes and hurriedly… Read more“Me Robó”
