They say the first year is the hardest.
Here is a brief tally of some things we did in year 1:
Went to Machu Picchu, of course (twice, in Valerie's case)
Entertained 8 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 15 houseguests
Learned to surf (well, not Valerie)
Went paragliding
Ate kilos of ceviche
Survived Lima traffic
Made some terrific friends
Adjusted to having a live-in maid (well, maybe not Valerie)
Flew over the Nasca lines
Saw Humboldt penguins
Learned to distinguish between a llama and an alpaca
Met lots of hairless Peruvian dogs
Got up close and personal with an anaconda
Went for a wild dune buggy ride and tried sandboarding
Hiked to a receding glacier at 4,800 meters of altitude
Kayaked among flocks of pink flamingoes
Started to explore the Peruvian desert, alteplano, and Amazon jungle - though there's tons more to do
So, we're looking forward to more adventures in year 2 - and hoping that lots of friends and family will come join us (we have tons of space and welcome your visits).
