"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt

Arrival

Hello all! Just a quick update, we made it! We sat in ATL in the plane for around an hour waiting on the lightening storm to go away then finally took off and hit some turbulence in the air. We arrived around 1:15 am and then waited on our luggage for about an hour then thankfully it came! We met Mr. Ross and hopped in a taxi and drove to the Berry's home for some sleep. We woke up and ate our first Peruvian meal which was absolutely delicious, I love the coffee here! Today we are meeting our host families and moving into our own apartments, mine is on top of a roof of my host family's house. My "madre" here is named Lula and has two sons who will be my "hermanos" for these three months. More to come! Adios!
