People I Really Love...

My sister. The girl who's been with me for over 19 years. And up until recently, she's always been by my side. Now we're far apart and getting the hang of being there with and for each other when we can't be there in person. I love this little girl. She's a wonderful, beautiful, feisty, lovely young woman and I MISS her. In honor of my best bud, here are a few photos from a trip we took right before she went back to Canada last year. She is sooo great to travel with!



That's what we called our extremely mini backpacking jaunt to Samaipata (a cute little turist town maybe three hours outside the city and into the mountains) "Excursains Around Samaipata of 2011".
We loved it! She had been asking me for the whole year if we could go on a trip. After she finished her last school year and before she hopped on a plane back to Canada we finally got to go on the "trip". Three whole days together "roughing it" in Samaipata. We found a hostel and got the cheapest room we could, shareing a single bed and staying nice and toasty.

(The quaint little the kitchen where we cooked all our hot water for all our coffee:) )

To be completely honest, I think all we did was eat! We'd wake up in the morning, head up to the roof to drink some coffee, read, and watch the sunrise. Then we'd go look for breakfast. After that we'd head back to our room and regroup while we waited for lunch to role around :)

(Adie and I tromp around the country side between meals)

(Adie was drinking her coffee one morning when she discovered the Lord and the word "poderoso" or "powerful" on the coffee mug we had purchased at the local market the day before :)



(We loved our little hostel and as such, we were especialy careful to keep the "hauling" down and not to do any dirt contaminating :)



We made it home safe and sound and a little bit closer as a result :) It was deffinately the BEST vacation I've ever been on and we'll deffinitely be doign that again someday, hopefully soon.
We're hopelessly different and exactly the same all at once and I LOVE my little sister!
