Urubamba

I have arrived to Urubamba. Many things have happened since I arrived.

When I arrived in Lima, I met a guy from my hometown. I did not know him before. We went out to resteraunt in Lima and then came back to the airport. On the way back, we saw a bunch of policemen and a dead body on the sidewalk. It was an interesting ¨welcome to Peru¨moment. We then made our way to Cusco and parted ways.

In Cusco I went through orientation, and then we went to Urubamba, where I am at now. I am with a good host family here and will be working with a track group early in the morning. The computer here is really crappy, so I will write more later, and hopefully post pics.

Hello to all the faithful readers out there. Basically...my Mom and Dad.

I leave on friday to head to Peru for two months. I'll be working an internship which involves marketing for a tourism organization in Urubamba (seen above)...which to be honest, I have no clue what I am getting into. There may also be an opportunity to work with a track team...hopefully:). I'll be living with a Peruvian family while I'm there, so that could lead to many interesting situations. More information will come when I find out exactly the type of things I am doing. The website to the tourism group is: http://www.hakutrek.com/

Please pray that I'll be bold for Christ on this trip.
Pray that I'll be able to adapt quickly to the culture.
Pray that I'll be able to communicate clearly in the Spanish language.

For the runner people out there...I ran 27 miles this week. Just trying to stay in shape until the base training begins.
