Where was I . . .

 School was out . . . . . 

so went home to WA for the month of July, not in this particular vessel, although that may have been more interesting.  I suggest a ferry route between Lima and where I want to sail.

Emily tried to paddle her way back south.

 Took a vacation within a vacation

with a trek to UT.

Saw some beautiful people

and rode around on a boat

really fast.

(Remember when Jon could not wakeboard?) 

Counted the days it did not rain

One . . .

two . . .

three . . .

it was raining in Utah:(

not in WA,  four . . .

five . . .

six . . .

seven . . .

eight . . .

nine . . .

ten . . .

eleven . . . okay, no rain the month of July.

None.

Why then did we return to Peru

(after seeing this, why do you ask?)

and winter with Geoff and Alayna and Adelaide?

I don't know.

So they could hike across Peru

 and then they flew home to move to AZ.  Geoff changed his mind and decided to attend law school at Arizona State University.

Meanwhile Eric left India, where he was digging wells

and hanging out,

to come home to his family in Peru.  And alas he returns to BYU after visiting 37 gazillion tourist sites.  Once you have been to the chocolate museum where else can you go.  

The end.
