Apply & Reflect

Chad and Carrie here. From this point forward, known as Charrie. First crack at this "online journal" silliness. (I'll hurl snowballs at your knees if you call this a blog...jk folks, this is a violence free space).

Carrie and I head out to Peru tomorrow afternoon. We still haven't wrapped our heads around the whole thing, but off we go. Four months of struggling with language, venturing on spectacular trails, checking out fantastic historical and cultural locals, and most certainly...a good amount of getting lost. It's bound to happen yo.

The last few days, we've spent hiding from the chill of the midwest and northeast down here in Florida...hanging with my aunt and uncle just outside of Ft. Myers Beach. Sorry suckas! It's been sunny and mid 70's the last few days. Good thing too, all the frigid air set me up with a wicked cold...one I couldn't imagine heading to Peru with.

This post will be short...much more nonsense and pics to follow. Now it's time to apply all that graduate malarkeyand reflect on the significance...apply and reflect...on and on.

By all means, send us emails along the way. Get a load of Chad at cbtossin@yahoo.com and Carrie at carrieawsimmons@yahoo.com.

Yum-yum,

C & C

Hey Charrie! Enjoy your trip! Tentatively coming to play down South after this practicum gig is up. The time has come for some self directed Spanish learnin'. A side trip to Peru to figure out this whole Peru-FTA thang may be necessary too. I'll keep ya' posted.

Much love. lemon drops and a booty shake to ya!
