I believe that Sunday is a good day of the week when you can just relax and read a few words about any subject and still feel relaxed. For this reason I take the opportunity to write a bit about what my trip to Peru was about.

Let’s begin by mentioning the following about Peru, it’s the third largest country in South America, it’s territory is divided naturally in three regions, the Pacific Ocean coast, the Andean region that runs along the top to bottom of the country and then we have the vast Amazon jungle to the east.

I’ve been to the Andean and Amazon regions in previous occasions and had extraordinary experiences.

Since those precious journeys I had been planning to return to Peru and explore the coastal region this time.

That’s exactly what I did. It wasn’t easy at all, but my Indiana Jones spirit drove me to complete my mission.

There was a time while I was there shen I felt like forgetting about the whole thing and just returning home, I spoke on the phone to my wife Lucy and she convinced me to follow my plan. I finally figured that since I was already half way done with my plan that maybe I should stick around and just keep pushing!

Who would’ve thought that my trip made a turn for the better and things went not too bad.

One thing I learned form this experience: I’m not a young fellow anymore!
