I have spent about 5 days here in Huanchaco and it has been delightful. The population is around a few thousand and there a few travellers mixed in the bunch.

Hola from Huanchaco, on the North Coast of Peru. It feels good to get out of a really big city like Lima. Lima, like Atlanta, Georgia kept expanding outward even upon the surrounding moutains. The bus ride from Lima to Trujillo took about 8 hours. Along the way we passed little pueblo houses and sprawling agricultural fields of strawberries and other vegetables I didnt recognize. There were big black chicken houses very close to the ocean. The landscape I would describe as somewhere between desert and temperate.

Greetings from Lima, Peru. It is my first day here and after a long flight from Baltimore Washington International, I decided to sleep for most of the day. It felt good to be in an entirely new location, where the everything looks different. The billboards show Peruvians enjoying drinks I have never tasted. The drivers raced through streetlights that flashed yellow and red.

Hello,

This is the blog site that I will be using to relay information about my around the world volunteer experience. I would like to thank  Byron Banghart for allowing me to use this space on the site and Anna Martin for teaching me and my elementary grade computer literacy level how to use the site. Stay tuned for the trip. Im leaving october 5th.

Thanks

Phillip McKnight
