Lost in translation

Have I ever told you about my trip here?
Have you ever gotten off of a plane and thought, “uhhhhhh where am I?” *confused face* That was me the first day here. A Friday morning after traveling all night. When I booked my plane ticket I thought it was a great idea to fly overnight and have 4 short flights rather than a really long one. Hey I’m so smart!! That’s what I told myself without thinking..hmmm entering 2 different countries en route to Arequipa will require me to go through customs more than once. But give me credit, my last week and a half in the states were a bit of a whirlwind. I found out on a Monday I got the job and was ecstatic. I started packing up my apartment stuff, got distracted by TV and seeing people, got mad because I had so much stuff, and quit packing for a few hours. It took longer than it should. Oops. And then it snowed. Because it always snows when you need to get somewhere…
