This blog post is written by my dear friend and sister, Honor Heindl who came to visit me in October. This is the entry she wrote in her journal after our trip and these are some of the amahzing pics she took. Captions done by me.
Dear Peru,
You have taken me on quite the ride these last two weeks. You have taken, but you have also given me a lot. You have driven me absolutely crazy and you have rendered me speechless. Our little fling was short-lived and has definitely left me craving more. You have your fair share of scars and imperfections, but who doesn’t? Your history is drenched in vibrant colors and woven through intricate tapestries, layered in treasures and stories left behind from so many other lives. Thank you for letting me in for a small glimpse of your glory, ruins and all. The deserts, the mountains, the warm faces, the treacherous bus rides, and the ancient Incan trails that stencil your geography—it all possesses a beauty I will not soon forget. Thank you for the near death experiences in collectivos and the hospitality of selfless strangers. I love you and look forward to meeting again someday.
Love,
Honor
