This week I did not leave my town. This means I didn’t travel more than 2 miles. I stayed here because I had work and lots of preparations for the festival we had over the weekend.
Over my past 8 months in Peru, I have traveled thousands of miles! If I start from my house back in the United States and calculate my trip here, as well as my fun journeys to the mountains, the beach and the capital, the total comes to more than 7,500 miles! This doesn’t count any of my trips within my region that I have taken. It's safe to say I have been very busy and traveling very far.
This week I got around by foot. I always walk or run everywhere. My town is very small so this isn’t too challenging. However, being in the mountains, that means things are steep and sometimes I get tired. I typically walk over 20,000 steps a day to get to my various jobs at the schools and health center.
