The Final Chapter

I was planning on traveling to Mancora today for 10 days on the beach but my mom was a little too worried about me traveling alone so after much thought I decided to change my flight and come home 12 days early! It was very weird... I went from "I'll be home in 2 weeks" to "I'm flying home tomorrow" so suddenly. I am going to miss Peru very much but am also excited to get home to all the things I miss about Wisconsin - friends, family, and food! Thanks to everyone for reading my blog, I really enjoyed keeping it. I haven't once gone back and read anything I've written so it will be fun in a few months to look back and relive my experiences. See y'all state side!
