Mi Casa Su Casa
Mi Casa Su Casa
“Mi Casa Su Casa” Iactually heard that from someone here the other day. I met a lady in the nearby market who was in line behind me and we just started chatting. She is a tall woman, slightly bent, about 80 years old. She appears to be in good stable health. Then she told me that she did not like living in the US but her husband worked there and she would often visit. She asked where I was…

The Magic
Whipped Coconut Oil and Aloe Vera Gel
1/3 cup of Aloe Gel
1/2 Cup Organic Coconut Oil
Iplaced this on my Facebook page for the first time about three years ago while I was living in Lima, Peru. I tried it and loved the way it felt but never made it again. When it popped up as a memory on my page again, a month ago, I made it, as I wondered why I did not continue with this cream when I…

Four Airbnbs Later - Six Things I Do to Make it Home
Four Airbnbs Later – Six Things I Do to Make it Home
My first experience with Airbnb was not good at all. I actually should have known better because I know how particular I am about sharing my space with someone else. I thought sharing that space would give me the opportunity to meet and get to know like minded people. However, that was not my first experience. That experience almost kept me from having any more experiences with Airbnb. But I…

Twists and Turns of Old Fashioned Oatmeal
Twists and Turns of Old Fashioned Oatmeal
Cooking oatmeal in a crockpot is very new to me. Probably because I never liked it, even as a child. I was a grits girl. Yes, I am from the South, and I still love my grits. However, my grandbaby is in Peru with me, and she loves oatmeal. My mother had been giving her the Quaker Oats Maple & Brown Sugar Instant Oatmeal packets, and she loved it. There was a time that this was the only one that I…

Altitude Sickness- Not For the Faint at Heart
Altitude Sickness- Not For the Faint at Heart
Iexpected the headaches and the shortness of breath, but it is worst than I remember. That is probably because I can’t just lay in the bed to feel better this time. I have to deal with it while caring for a four-year-old. I remember sleeping a lot when I was here before, but this time I had to push through it. Now I think I am finally on the other side. I still get winded walking up these four…

Pure Joy - I forgot
Pure Joy – I forgot
Iforgot what it was like to raise a child. My daughter is 31 years old, so it has been a minute. I brought my four-and-a-half granddaughter Gia with me to Peru while her Mother completes graduate school. She will be re-introduced to her first language and become fluent. Making her bi-lingual at the age of 5. (No it is not the first language that she heard but it was the first language that she…

When you Fall Abroad
When you Fall Abroad
Iwill admit that when you fall from grace abroad, it seems harder than when you fall in the States. It should not seem harder because you are living in a place where the cost of living is easier and the cost of food is nominal. At least this was my experience. No, you don’t need much to live on in a place like Cusco Peru, but when there is no income, and you have exhausted all of your savings,…

Sopa de Quinoa
This is a soup that I had at a restaurant in Cusco, Peru back in 2013. I fell in love with the flavor and the heartiness of the dish. It contains so many healthy veggies and even what most think is a grain, Quinoa. However, quinoa is a seed and is being used as a grain substitute. It is really high in carbs, which is fine if you are a pretty active person or live in a place like Cusco, where…

Going to the Post Office -Serpost
Going to the Post Office -Serpost
Monday, I headed out to the post office to see if any of the six boxes I sent from the US had arrived. When I got there, the same lady that helped me two years ago was still there and so was the lady from the area where You pick up your boxes; .which is different from where you can pick up letters. It was great to see them again, and they remembered me. So I feel as though they will look out…

The Food is a Changin'
The Food is a Changin’
The first morning here in Cusco, I am going to make my grandbaby her favorite breakfast, eggs, and avocado. I sliced into this large soft avocado and it was a perfect yellowish-green all the way through. I removed the seed and sliced up half of the avocado sprinkled it with a little salt and pepper. Setting it to the side until I scrambled the eggs. I cracked the first of the two eggs and my…

A Beautiful Turn of Events
A Beautiful Turn of Events
Today was not an accident. This morning after I took Gia to school, I got a facebook IM from a friend. She was telling me that there was going to be a town hall meeting for US citizens with the US embassy officials here in Cusco. Now I had never heard of this being done before but that doesn’t mean anything. Well I was never made aware of it when I lived here before and I made sure that the…

Afraid to Move Abroad
Afraid to Move Abroad
Many people want to live abroad, but don’t want to leave the comforts of the US. Then there comes a time when those comforts are not worth the many discomforts you are feeling. There is an old saying, “Change happens when the pain of remaining the same is greater than the pain of change.”That has always been something that I have lived by. Many of us will live in constant dysfunction and even…

Other Differences to get use to in Cusco, Peru
Other Differences to get use to in Cusco, Peru
Many people are afraid of the differences that they would encounter by living in another country. There are some that may send you home packing. Many can’t imagine the plumbing not being good enough for toilet paper. But here are a few others.
One of the things I really dislike in Cusco is the stray dogs everywhere. Often times you will see them in packs. I have heard of many people being…

Trash Pick Up in Cusco, Peru
Trash Pick Up in Cusco, Peru
I never noticed this before when I lived here two years ago, but there is a man that proceeds the trash truck with a bell. He rings this bell to let you know that they are picking up the trash for the day and to come on down if you have not already done so. This was funny to me but it is a great idea.
The trash on the street where I live is collected on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I know you…

Back in Peru 14 June 2017
Back in Peru 14 June 2017
Landing in Lima Peru at 11 pm was quiet. Getting through immigration and customs was a breeze, mostly because I had some help. I was loaded down with way too much stuff; 2 carry-on pieces that rolled, two more carry-ons that you had to ‘carry,’ 2 coats because it is winter in Peru, two neck pillows, and a large stuffed Ant. Now that was on one cart; the other cart held four large 50lb-each…

JFK to Savannah GA on the Amtrak
JFK to Savannah GA on the Amtrak
I descend into the station from the street via an escalator, because the elevator was out of order. The first thing I saw were two cops. As I get a little further into the station I see a guy sleeping on the stairs and another walking and talking to himself. This is all too familiar to me as I once lived in New York. I was safely tucked away in Long Island at Hofstra University. At 18 years…

Here Is What I Know-Uber in Johannesburg
Here Is What I Know-Uber in Johannesburg
Landing on African soil was exciting to me. It is my first time in Africa. I hurried to exchange a few bills that I had gotten back from my refund of Vat taxes in the EU. Seeing Mandela’s face on the money made me just giddy from excitement. I don’t know what I expected. Just needing enough Rand to take a taxi to my apartment. Once I got to the apartment, the doorman told me that Uber was sa…
