I was able to see a couple of friends from high school in between re-packing sessions. After 3 days I headed up to Portuguese camp here in Callaway. I'm still not used to speaking English all the time yet, but Portuguese is even more confusing. At the same time, I can't think of a better job right now than one that requires me to be at the beach all afternoon :) Even though I miss my friends and family in Peru, I am glad to see my camp family and to get back to some of my usual summer adventures. Not to mention my Portuguese is starting to come back to me!

when a door shuts, a window opens
I've been back in Minnesota for a few days now but I thought I should formally wrap up my blog. It was tough saying goodbye to the friends that I had made as well as the family I already had. The trip to the airport was quite eventful since the secure taxi I had arranged didn't show. Luckily Rossi was able to flag down another and we were off. After sitting on the plane in Lima for 3 hours, it became apparent that I was not going to make my connection in Miami. The Doubletree that I got put up in was nice and I had the whole city at my fingertips! I finally arrived in Minneapolis Friday afternoon, 15 hours after my original flight had landed. It was nice to be home, except for the immediate trip to renew my drivers license. Three hours later I was back at the airport to eat supper with my brother who had a 2 hour layover. I think I've spent enough time there to last for awhile.
