Alright. So its Wednesday night which means that I only have one more day of classes this week and then its 3-day weekend time for me!!! This weekend is going to be especially exciting because Amelia and I are flying down to Arequipa with some friends and going to Colca Canyon! We're flying down on Friday and coming back Sunday. So it'll be a quick trip, but it'll be good to get out of the city and breathe some fresh air.
So thats all for now. I'll update next week and probably have some wicked cool pictures to share as well.
PS-Just for you Mom, yes Arequipa is in Peru. In the South. Here is a map.
