I have so much to write, I don´t know where to start. But I only have ten minutes left at this cafe so that´s how much I will write. I have to go back and write all about going to the amazon jungle of iquitos with Mike. That was awesome. He is one of my favorite people and one of my top favorite people to travel with. We had such an amazing time, I will write about it later.

Last night and this morning I traveled from Lima to Arequipa. SEVENTEEN. hours. on.the.bus. My ipod broke hours before leaving. The only time it´s failed me the whole time I´ve been in Peru. I felt pretty alone after arriving. All the other little groups the hostel were cooking dinner together and planning their trips. I talked to some people, but was too tired to make as big of an effort as seemed to be required. I went to bed at 8:30 and woke up 6 feeling awesome. The owner of the hostel made us breakfast. She is awesome. Now I am waiting for the volunteer office to open. Supposedly they opened ten minutes ago but there was no one there. It´s $60 to volunteer, which is actually one of the cheapest I´ve found. I´m going to see if there is a way around it, though, so I will have more money to tour around. It´s not too late for people to come visit me! Once you get here it is very cheap, like $5 a night in a hostel, free breakfast and like $1 for dinner. And awesome places to visit. The deepest canyon in the world, although there is some debate on this, is here. and a museum with a perfectly preserved 13 year-old girl incan sacrifice. You know you want to . . . Ok. Now I go.
