For those who may have been wondering, I am still alive.
Yes, I am the world´s worst person at staying in touch and at blogging specifically. For all of my faithful followers, I apologize for the lack of entries in the last month and a half. 🙂 Oops… But for those of you who find me excruciatingly long-winded, you will be pleased to know that I have made a New Year´s resolution (which I have already failed at a little by waiting until the 11th…) to write more frequently with shorter entries. Yeah! Everyone wins! Except me, as I will actually have to try and follow through.
Anyways, I have missed greetings for a few holidays.
Happy Thanksgiving
Merry Christmas
(Happy Birthday to myself, haha)
Happy New Years
Whew! A lot has happened since leaving Cusco. I am currently in La Paz, Bolivia, where I have been the last five or six weeks. I have been working in the Wild Rover hostel. I am finished now and plan to get moving asap. I just need to look into where I will be heading next and then I am on my way.
Spoiler for those of you who do not already know. Aaron and I will no longer be traveling together. He has spent this time in La Paz at a home stay, learning more Spanish, while I have been at the Wild Rover. We plan to finish out Bolivia together and then he will head back north while I continue onto Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay.
Also, I have officially been gone six months. How time flies. I do not know how much longer I will stay gone, though I have begun thinking about what I will do once I return home. It is impossible to know for sure when I will be sick of traveling, and when my financials will require my return home. 🙂 We will see how the next few countries turn out. I would still like to get to Colombia if possible.
That is all for now. Hopefully tomorrow I will have an entry for the end of Peru. Then I will start one for Bolivia. 🙂
I love you all. I hope you are enjoying the winter holidays and weather. It has not entirely seemed like winter for me with the lack of snow! Those of you with snow, please curl up in a warm blanket and sip hot cocoa for me. Also, go outside and make a snow angel, have a snow ball fight, and find pretty icicles.
