Back in Colorado
I'm finally home in Colorado and off the road for a bit. Rolled in last night to a yard full of snow and a box full of Rubbermaid sleds I had shipped in from Michigan.
This morning, we built a fire and now Jen and I are sitting here watching the snow fall from the trees. I'm glad to be home, drinking hot chocolate with the Jen and the neighbors. Dragging the little urchins around the the yard on the new sleds behind the four wheeler.
But it's different here than in Peru. It's fall in Colorado, and spring in Peru. Standing here in the snow, rigging up sleds and mediating snowball wars, it's hard to believe that two weeks ago, I was sleeping underneath a mosquito net in a thatched roof hut in the Amazon rain forest. I wonder if Peru was just a dream.
I'm going to try to capture my thoughts from the trip to Peru, before they slip away forever. Much of the trip, I was unable to write because either 1) the roads were too bad to use the laptop or 2) I was in the jungle with no electricity. However, I did scribble a lot of notes in my notebook with a pen, so I'm optimistic that those will help jar my memories.
Also, I met a ton of people down there, and promised them I'd write, which, of course, I haven't. So, I'm going to try to contact the people I met on the trip, and share my photographs and worthless rants once they are compiled. Stay tuned.
