Oh Peru, I love you
Sunday, March 05, 2006
I am thinking about moving my blog to this website. Xanga has been having some issues, and I like the look of Blogger much better anyhow. But I would like some help redesigning the way it looks. Could I post my own picture/banner thing at the top of the page? Does anyone know how to do that? There is a bunch of code available to modify in the "settings" section, but I am completely incapable of managing that.
I gave a small presentation over the Moche Valley prehistory and ancient civilizations at our last Peru meeting yesterday morning. Here is the handout I made. I concentrated on the Moche people because we will probably be seeing two ruins which were made by them. The Moche were a long-lived civilization and were the precursors to the Chimรบ, who were then conquered by the Incas. The rest of the meeting was great. I cannot believe how much money people have sent in to support my trip. Christ be praised! I am well over 130% of what I needed to raise. Thank you to everybody who helped make this happen!
This is a picture of Eleanor Reynolds and me; she is one of my fellow team members who will be coming to Peru.
The Peruvian Daffodils have peeked their heads out of the dirt finally! Thelma was the last of my babies to start growing. The rest have been sprouted for about two weeks now.
Thelma is the one on the left, you can barely see her. I haven't yet named the bluebonnets and tomatoes, because I am going to have to pick the ones I want to live (they will be too crowded) and I don't want to get too attached.
This evening I am going to talk with Benjie in front of Redeemer at a meeting about our forthcoming trip to Peru. I am a little nervous, but hopefully I will have plenty of poise. My mom gets back from Aruba tonight, she told me that they were having a super time. I am so jealous. Maybe I will choose something like that as my graduation trip. I keep going back and forth between a relaxing-sit-in-the-sun-spa-massage-on-the-beach kind of trip or a sightseeing trip to Europe or somewhere. It will be in June. Any suggestions?
