one by one the pictures are coming up. :) maybe by the end of the year, i'll have a sizeable number up. here i am trying to look like a seasoned traveler on top of wayna picchu, the suuuper high peak next to macchu picchu. a bitch of a hike but worth every one of those thousand or so steps. south america was a great reminder of my dreams and goals--it fed my passion to make them all happen. funny how i needed to travel to another continent for that push. talking to a friend yesterday, i realized i am an inspiration addict. being inspired is a great drug--maybe better than crack? can't say cuz i haven't been on it, but i've been close, and inspiration works so much better. it's a nice reminder that we only have one life to live and we should make the most of it. trite but tru.
