Pre-Peru Preparations


Setting up my first *sigh* blog... and my first entry...

Preparations are underway - I just got back from participating in an ancient fasting ceremony at the Wind River Rez in Wyoming (1 of 10 rez dogs at left)! Last night was my send-off fiesta, complete with tequila-soaked mangoes and pastries from my local Mexican bakery! Change-of-address forms are being filled out, boxes are being packed, and anti-malaria and anti-diarrhea prescriptions have been written! In about one week, I'll be en route to Seattle for a family send-off complete with care packages (hint, hint), and soon off to Cusco. Arriba, arriba!
