And Peru Came Tumblin' Down


Yesterday afternoon, a friend of mine e-mailed me asking if she could go to Peru with us since her plans to go in May fell through. She bought a ticket and last night Kell and pored over the Peru book I picked up at the library. Since she'd never been to Cusco and Macchu Picchu, we decided to add that leg of the trip in. Kell told me, "that means we can get a picture of the two of us at Macchu Picchu and you can put that on your wall. "
You see, I have this 8x10 of Chelsea and I in Macchu Picchu. Its been on the wall facing my bedroom door for about 4 years and is the first thing people comment on when they see my room. Kell admitted she's a little jealous of it, but we never got a pic of the two of us in Macchu Picchu. Well, this morning, my roommate Megan shut the front door and Peru came tumbling down. The picture is fine, but the glass frame is destroyed. Its not a big deal--but a little ironic that it happened less than 12 hours after we decided to go back to Macchu Picchu.
