The time had finally come.
Yes, my trip to South America was quickly coming to an end as we boarded our plane back to Canada.
A bitter sweet moment.
Four weeks ago, we started our journey, not knowing what lied ahead of us but a few ideas of what we wanted to do, and so it began with visits to Cusco, the Amazon Rainforest, Machu Picchu, Puno, Lake Titicaca, Copacabana, La Paz, Death Road, the Salar de Uyuni, San Pedro de Atacama, Arica, Arequipa, and finally back up to Lima. And we survived! It was an amazing trip filled with spectacular experiences that I will cherish for the rest of my life.
That being said, it was good to be coming back home. Once we hit Arica, with all the major highlights of our trip done and over with, and all the amenities of modern society quickly returning into our everyday lives, I felt like it was time to come back home to family, friends, fresh air, lush green forests, and a bath tub. Packing and unpacking a backpack almost everyday was starting to get a little old as well.
As you may have noticed, my posts for the latter part of the trip waned a bit. I apologize for that but I just wanted to get this done while my memories are still pretty fresh in my mind. I had big plans of keeping a journal of my journeys but that quickly came to an end after I was still writing about Day 1 on Day 11. Yes, I was more interested in taking in as much of the local sights and culture than making notes in my journal or heaven forbid, spend time documenting them in front of a computer. I was on vacation after all, and I was going to enjoy every minute of it, as best I could. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to ask me.

As for my next trip, who knows?
I have a long list of places I'd love to visit and there's probably an even longer list of great places I don't even know about yet so we will see what happens...
Thanks for dropping by.
