Viva Hoy, Viva lo Tuyo: P.S.: New pictures!

I got some new pictures up, of Huacachina, Huaraz, and the Santa Cruz trek. Enjoy!

Things I'm loving at the moment.

my current read, The Book Thief
The Darran Mountains, the highest ones in Fiordland.
flying in helicopters!
the music of Iron & Wine
Southern hospitality, Kiwi style - people are too nice down here
Why Should the Fire Die?, my favorite favorite album by Nickel Creek - these songs work their way deep into my heart every time.
being a raft guide - getting out of the office is great!
Gotye, a refreshingly creative Aussie musician. Also, Pentatonix's cover of his song "Somebody That I Used to Know". So good!
Los Vasquez, a band from Coyhaique that's making it big.
The Help, by Kathryn Stockett - READ it.
The House of Spirits, by Isabel Allende - I am continually more convinced that Latin American authors are on a whole new incredible creative level
meeting Peter and Beverly Pickford, some badass South African photographers looking for the last truly wild places on each continent
the people I meet here; among the cool recent guests are Eliot Coleman, Barbara Damrosch, and Hemanta Mishra
the number of Subarus in Coyhaique - makes me feel like I'm back home
the excited feeling of anticipation knowing that I'm so close to CP
MENDOZA
the Pandora station for the Maccabees
a quote from one of the articles Roz used in a CELTA TP: "it's quite likely that by worrying about whether or not you should be eating a chocolate bar you are doing yourself more harm than just getting on and eating it."
Coldplay's latest album called Mylo Xyloto, especially the tunes "Paradise" and "Hurts Like Heaven"
the music of The Tallest Man on Earth, especially the song "The Gardener"
the Pandora station for Little Joy
my name! apparently there's a place in the lake country of England named Kendal, famous for its mint cakes yumm. And I've got an island in Canada and a mountain in Colorado. Lucky me.
argentine pastries - yummm
the accents of my CELTA cohorts; pretty soon, I'll be talking like a Brit!
the Avett Brothers' album I and Love and You
Ahab's Wife by Sena Jeter Naslund, the book I'm about to finish in the Lima airport
fútbol matches, or should i say fans who go crazy and shout funny things
peruvian children, because they are somehow cuter than the others
Huaraz, Perú - seems like a normal town until you look up and see 20,000+ foot mountains
hostels, because they are great places to meet great people
the Sing-off! finally, a cappella is getting the recognition it deserves
the Pandora station for Elephant Revival
books about climbing Everest (so far: The Climb, Into Thin Air, Dead Lucky)
