Eyes and Stomachs, that's... nice?

Perhaps we should explain.

First of all, we're going on another trip!  (Finally!)  To be more specific, we are backpacking across South America for one month.  True, this is a tall order, but we are so excited to see new things, meet new people, and eat as much food as possible.  This is a whirlwind of a trip and we will be taking in all that we can... with both our eyes and our stomachs.

To say that this trip came together quickly would be a huge understatement.  We have a general idea of where we are going, a few thoughts on how to get there, and that is about it.  Basically, this is our idea of a perfect trip.

We leave Wednesday the 26th for Lima, Peru.  We are so incredibly lucky to have an acquaintance of an acquaintance meeting us there to show us the city and it's food in a way we could never have discovered on our own.  The plan is to stay in Lima for a couple days, then head to Cusco and Machu Picchu.  From there... we'll see.

We realize how fortunate we are to take a month off from real life to go on this adventure.  We would be remiss not to thank a few people right out of the gate...  Our bosses are beyond incredible for letting us take this time off, our landlords have helped us out in a most generous and unprecedented way, our parents for their enthusiasm (despite anxiety) - especially Nan's mom for watching our pets, and our friends (Scotty, we're looking at you...)

We look forward to sharing our adventures with all of you... and we'll see you in a month!
