Things I never expected to do on SST
It’s hard to imagine but my time here in Perú is quickly coming to a close. This last week-and-a-little looks like it’s going to be pretty jam packed but I wanted to at least write a quick post. So seeing as it’s been so long since my last post I decided to compile a list of things I’ve done the past little while on service that I never really saw coming, but still enjoyed throughly.
- Ride in the back of a truck through Cañon del Pato at 7am. (The view was amazing!)
- Build a relational database and write about 7,000 lines of VB code.
- Actually enjoy reggeatón a fair bit.
- Grow a beard.
- Get to hang out with 5 other SSTers almost every weekend.
- See someone get head butted in the world cup final.
- Actually use almost all of the extra money I withdrew before service. Yeah, Caraz is known for it’s sweets
- Have fun dancing.
- Watch & get addicted to an American TV series (my family here loves it).
- Get so attached to Perú! I’ve Gotta get back here some day
So there’s the short list. I’m real excited to get back to, well, first to see Beth again, but then to show everyone all of my photos and tell tons of stories and all that fun stuff! I’ll be back in the States in a mere 9 days, crazy! Alright, gotta go, but catch you all later.
