a sad goodbye

this girl and that guy spent the morning and afternoon lounging poolside, sipping on fruity drinks, devouring scallops and cerviche and reliving the adventures they shared together over the past 2 weeks. It has been unlike any experience they have ever had and both wished they had just one more week in this amazing country. Peru offered them such a wide range of experiences that it was difficult to pinpoint their favorite day. There were museums visited, lake kayaked, rivers rafted, sand dunes boarded, cities explored. As they loaded up their backpacks one more time, this girl looked at that guy with tears in her eyes, and right before they started streaming down that guy said he knows they will be here again in Peru. But for now, these two Chicago explorers have memories to cherish, Peruvian dishes to learn how to make, pictures to ogle and llama clothes to wear! This girl and that guy hope you enjoyed their Peru. Until next time, as Tour Guide Juan said everytime they left a location.... vamanos!
