…and in that while, I turned 18, got a tattoo, graduated high school, went to Peru, and planned a 7 week backpacking trip to Europe! So naturally I have photos. Since I’m better at showing than telling, I’ll just put up some photos and yeah.. If you want to follow my trip, I use Everlater (which is a rearrangement of the words e-traveler and is a site created by my family friend), a free online travel blog. I’ll put up the link later when I remember it. Ha. Anyway some of the things I did in Peru:
- Machupicchu!
- Climbed Huaynapicchu
- Drank pisco sour
- Talked to locals
- Ate yellow potato soup
- Ate guinea pig
- Ate alpaca
- Pet alpacas
- Made friends with school kids
- Bought a 16gb memory card
- Got lost at night in Lima
- Got dizzy and out of breath climbing 15 stairs
- Drank coca tea
- Ate coca candy
- Drank chicha morada
- Took 5,000 pictures
Sidenote. My tattoo was done by Eric Doyle of Jinx Proof Tattoos in Georgetown, DC. It’s on M street about two or three blocks down from Wisconsin. I would HIGHLY recommend the place and especially Eric if you’re looking into getting a tattoo in the DC area. It was an amazing experience, and if you already have a tattoo I’m sure you know they’re addictive.
Also I started jumping Paddles again, just a little bit. He seems to be enjoying it. Here’s a picture of that too! (Oh and he’s still sound, knock on wood…)
Here we go
I’ll smile for you now ‘cause you’re sad
but I’m not allowed to be sad
Here we go
I’ll make a joke for you now, make you smile
but I’m not allowed to be sad
Turn away fallen on the inside from your sky
Felt no pain and didn’t ever want to wonder why
Here we go
I’ll burn for you now cause your’re mine
and you’re not allowed to feel nothing
Careful I may fall apart for you now, make you cry
But I’m not allowed to be sad
Turn away fallen on the inside from your sky
Felt no pain and didn’t ever want to wonder why?

I’ve been neglecting this.
I think I am about done anyway.
I am going to Pittsburgh this weekend! I’m gonna try to do my AP photo project on industrial architecture. And learn to drive a Ninja. Just kidding. Except not really. And maybe go camping. :)
Today was pointless. I should have gone to the barn. At least I made lemon bars and figured out how to use the elliptical machine. Meh.
This is a good recipe…
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
- 1/4 tsp. salt
Mix everything but the flour and salt in a bowl, beat it until smooth, then slowly mix in the salt/flour mixture. Put 1/3 cup in a small nonstick frying pan, flip it after a minute ishh. Et voila, crepes! I’m about to go make them. Things to put in them.. Cheese, nutella/banana (or whatever fruit you like), sugar, sugar/lemon juice, honey, ham and cheese, jam, pretty much anything. And that makes like 15 crepes at least.
I almost didn’t go riding today. I hadn’t been since Monday (today is Friday) and planned on going but it rained all day. I thought about staying home… But I decided to go. It was kind of nice… A light rain with the clouds higher than usual so it didn’t feel so claustrophobic, and the fields have a pretty decent layer of green. It looks like spring, finally. The horses were at the far end of the field, which is about a 10 minute walk from where I park my car. They were filthy. Beetle didn’t even look like a paint and Paddles was just covered with mud from his neck to his butt and halfway up his legs. But they were still cute :) Today was alright. Only 5 more school days til spring break. I have no plans. Maybe work more shifts, just sleep, watch movies, and ride.
