So here is my first blog post and it will probably be pretty scattered since I have so much on my mind. First of all, I LOVE it here. The flight over the Andes was so incredibly beautiful and I have decided that I want to go there on my honeymoon. The people live simple lives and are very warm and welcoming.

Time is going to go by so fast, it already is.        Speaking to someone who does not know english is amazing, nerve racking, and..amazing.
