I am just starting to make entries on the blog but I will do my best to give a quick run down on the first month of my trip...

I started in Lima on the 28th of October 2008. I stayed in the Inka Lodge in Miraflores, a district of Lima. I quickly realized how easy it is to travel alone. I made many friends very quickly in the hostel and on the street. It was fun hanging out with some of the locals for a while. It quickly felt like I belonged there. I saw a few sets of ruins one of which was right outside of my hostel. I also quickly found out how cheep things can be here. My favorite food there was a small hole in the wall that for 4 nuevo soles($1.25) would get you a three course meal. I had a pretty good night life between hanging out with my local friends Fiorella, Aaron, and Mayumi. It´s nice to see what the locals do instead doing everything that all the other gringos do. After a week there with my original time frame fresh in my mind I left Lima after six days with two friends I met at the hostel named Rachael and David. They are an aussie couple that had the same short term plans I did so we traveled together from there.
