There are glaciers up in Huaraz, Peru, which is known for its hiking and climbing trails. Although we didn’t make it to the top of the glacier, we saw some amazing stuff. Highlights:(1) Guess which one is me: (a) One of us took off our shoes, socks, and rolled up our pants in order to cross over the glacier lake and have her picture taken sitting on top of a large rock in the middle of the lake; (b) One of us stripped bucked naked and took a 10 second swim in the ice cold waters of the glacier lake; (c) One of us had to pee really badly while hiking to the the glacier and took a pee by (not in) the glacier lake. If you guessed “c,” ^ding ding ding,* you would be correct! And I get bragging rights to that, too, for leaving my mark.
(2) While coming down the mountain in a taxi, an angry bull (with her youngins’ nearby) blocked our way and was ready to charge us. Fortunately, my brilliant friend, Lisette, had the right idea to throw a rock in its direction and it finally left us alone so that we were able to get back down the mountain again. Whew!
(3) I ate grilled chicken made with a pineapple and peach sauce for lunch. And then for our New Years Eve dinner, we cooked back at the hostel…curry noodles, smores, banana boats, wontons, artichoke dip, heavily spiked fruit punch, chicken parmesan, and of course, panetone, etc…Just a little taste of home.
