Peru Day 2 (El Salvador and Lima) - Part 1

The wake up call from the front desk jarred me awake at 1:45 AM on the nose.  It came in just as I was finally beginning to fall asleep, typical.  I guess I won't sleep today.  A quick up and out of bed, brush the teeth, put on my clothes from the day before and out the door.  This would make day 2 in the same clothes.  Because the bulk of this trip we are planning to pack it into the back country we are traveling super light.  Also the way we routed our flights, we would not get our bags until we reached Cusco tomorrow afternoon.

Peru Day 1 (Houston)

I was landing at Houston's Hobby airport and grabbing a shuttle over to Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport.  This would be our Jumping off point for 16 Days in Peru that would take us through the back country on some little traveled trails and to places few people have ever seen.

The Lake Bet

This Post is one that is a bit different.  It is a unique once in a lifetime kind of experience centered around something that happened to me a few years ago.  Now I have had to change the names in here to protect the innocent, but if your were involved that fateful day, you know who you are.

The afternoon started out innocuous enough.  One of my best mates was recently hired to manage a department at our little company and had begun having quarterly meetings for his management staff as team building exercises.  I was invited to attend one of these workshops after which, several of us went to the lake to sit out on the patio, have a few brews and unwind from the busy week.
