Homeward Bound

The sad day finally came and went where I had to say my farewells to the PSF family. To be honest, that new job I had wasn´t that much fun and made leaving only a little bit easier. Nevertheless, my last couple weeks in the Pisco area were fantastic with some good ol´ grunt work, a camping trip to the Paracas reserve and some final party nights with the gang at home and Pisco Disco.
From Pisco, I joined an English couple to Lima on Saturday and stayed in a hostel near the beach in an effort to enjoy some last days of Peruvian waves. Unfortunately the waves were little to none so there wasn´t much fun.
Last night I had my first day of travel, flying out of Lima at 11pm to Buenos Aires for a 25 hour layover. That is too much time to spend in an airport, so after the 4 hour flight I got a Republic of Argentina stamp in my passport, picked up my bag and hopped on a bus for 2 hours into the center of the hip capital.
I know a few people who are living here and made plans to meet up with them, but that seemed to have fallen through so far so I have resorted to hanging out on the internet in hopes to hear from them soon via facebook.
Well that is a quick update. Here is to hoping I meet up with either Rowan, from South Africa, who I met in Ecuador, and/or Victoria, who was a long term PSF volunteer.
