Travel to Peru

For several years now I have been interested in attending a Spanish language immersion program. However, it never seemed like the right time and I was overwhelmed with the number of countries and programs from which to choose, so I pushed the desire to the back of my mind. I recently made the decision to attend a language school in Peru and will be leaving for Peru in September.

Since making this decision people have asked me all kinds of questions such as,"Where is Peru?", "What is the country like?" and "What are the people there like?". Peru is a beautiful country located on the western coast of South America just below the equator. It has three distinct topographical regions and therefore a wide variety of terrains and climates. The Peruvian people are also beautiful. Most Peruvians are of Incan descent or a mixture of Incan and European or Asian descent.

I am following my heart as I embark on this journey, and I appreciate the support my family members and friends have given me in making this decision. Please click on the video bar on the right to view videos about Peru and learn more of this fascinating country.

Just For Fun

This dog belongs to a friend of the family, and I couldn't resist posting a couple of pictures. Enjoy!

Some More Favorites

I have had a lot of fun thinking about my favorite activities and interests. These two posts barely scratch the surface of all the activities I enjoy, but I think they're a good start. The top photo is of Chris Daughtry in concert. The second photo was taken in Guatemala. Traveling and learning about different cultures is definitely something I enjoy. The next photo is one I took at Birmingham's Botanical Gardens. I love flower gardens, and Birmingham has one of the nicest Botanical Gardens around. The final pictures is of several of my coworkers having a good time at work. We are showing off our bracelets which support international adoption.
