One of my all time absolute favorite feelings in the world is the one I get when I'm in an international airport terminal. I love walking through by the gates and seeing the different destinations: Copenhagen, Rome, Beirut, Hong Kong, Sao Paolo. If anyone's every spent time at the Continental terminal at Newark Airport, you know exactly what I mean. There's just something so exciting about the possibility of travel to me--that I could slip onto a plane, any plane, and head to a place far, far away. I pretty much spent half my childhood on planes, ferrying back and forth between the States and Hong Kong (where I lived as a kid) and France (as a teenager.)
So you can imagine just how excited I am to go to Peru on Friday! Our dear friend is getting married in Lima, and we decided to build a little spring break trip around it. I am so so so excited--about the food, about learning more about the ancient civilizations centered there, about getting out of the US! We are heading to Cusco, a city at 11,000 feet, and then to the Sacred Valley, the mountains around Macchu Picchu, and finally to Lima. Anyone with great Peru tips out there please share!
