Introduction

I have to admit that I never saw myself writing a blog.  I'm not a writer and the thought never even crossed my mind till someone said I should jot down my thoughts and the memories I experience during my time in Peru.  The more I thought about it the more it made sense. Try as I might, I'll never remember all the little details that will have made this time special.  Memories not shared are often forgotten and then lost forever.  

Another reason for writing this blog: Letters from Lima is because I really wanted to send postcards and letters to all my friends and family who are supporting me and keeping me in their prayers during my time away.  However, the price of sending a letter from Peru to Europe is astronomical.  I've had to console myself with writing this blog instead.  


So this is for those who are thinking of me; you are all in my thoughts too.  I'd like to share my experiences, my highs and lows, my memories and my thoughts on life here with you.
