Airplane Writings

Here I sit, 35,000 feet above the Pacific Ocean with an airplane-sized bag of carrots in my lap.  Already this has been the most productive flight of my life; I have watched two movies, The Internship (mediocre) and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (INCREDIBLE movie starring film legends Paul Newman and Robert Redford), played two games of checkers, and created a quality music playlist featuring the likes of B.B. King, David Bowie, Earth Wind & Fire, etc., etc.  And with 46 minutes left before our wheels touch the ground, I have decided to write my first ever post for, quite arguably one of the most culturally important blogs accessible on the World Wide Web, Peru, eh?©

The last two days have been a whirl wind of activities, ranging from almond stuffed, bacon wrapped prunes, to Bud Heavys with bikers from Cleveland in the luxurious lobby of the Capital Skyline Hotel.  Extracurricular activities include a brief 2 hour registration, a 5 hour staging event, and squeezing 56 of America’s youth through security in Ronald Regan’s airport.  Additional highlights in the near future include squeezing the aforementioned 56 through customs in Peru, navigating the airport, and making our way to our retreat that we occupy for the first two nights in Peru (Thursday and Friday) before meeting our host families for training on Saturday.

This season on Peru, eh? we will most likely incredible highs as well as devastating lows as Brad serves in the United States Peace Corps in Peru.  Things to look forward to include pictures, videos (maybe) recipes (maybe), travel tips (again, maybe), and the historically significant ramblings of a 23 year old.  Tune in to find out more.
