That incredibly elegant title is actually a pretty good summary of how I feel things have been going in the last few weeks.

The Return
My oh my…time has certainly flown! Since my last post, I finished off my last month and a half in Peru, including tons of papers, finals, and trips to Cusco, Cajamarca, and Puno–home to Lake Titicaca on the Peruvian side.

Kids, I am having a WEEK. If you will remember, I promised in my last post that I would update at least … Continue reading »
