Preparing for Peru!

The trip to Peru is exactly one month out. Man, I can't wait. Through my good friend, Ricky, and via www.couchsurfing.com/ I have met some very cool people in Peru. I'll be there for 10 days. There is no way I'm going to have enough time to do everything I want to do and meet everyone I want to meet. But I'm going to do as much as I can.

Here's what I have planned so far:

• Paragliding with Ricky in Lima. (I met a guy named Michael online who owns this company. www.aeroxtreme.com/ $45 for a flight on the coast of Lima.)



• Meet up with some of Ricky's friends including Calvic, Nito, Julio and Luis. Hopefully check out Calvic's choir, exchange music with Nito and talk to Julio about www.planetnoize.com/. If possible, do a little jamming!



• BBQ with Ricky's family. Meet Angie, Sebastian, Eduardo, mom, dad and brother.



• Hiking with Lenino to Ticlio (highest railway pass in the world).



• Dinner with Cesar in Lima.



• Check out Jaime's studio and get the dinner he owes me. Meet his family and cousin, Huevo.



• Eat at Bembos.



• Fly to Cusco. Stay with Jose in Cusco. Check out his cousin's band and the discotheques.



• Meet up with Yuri at his office at Machu Picchu.



• Train ride and tour to Machu Picchu with Jose, Luis and Jorge.



• Check out Electric Avenue with Ricky.
  
  
• Go to a beach. Camp out if warm enough.
  
  
• Try Cocoa Leaves and Ceviche.



• And, of course, hang out with Ricky!!!
