A summer without roads

A few months ago I wanted to go to Machu Picchu with my cousin and a friend during summer. But then, a couple of weeks ago, I was accepted for an exchange in Belgium in the Free University of Brussels, so I’m not in the place to spend my money, in fact, I’m saving it like crazy. So, this summer is going to be very quiet, just in home, enjoying maybe for the last time a summer at my hometown.
My parents bought a piece of land near by “Salto del Laja”, which is like 40 kilometers away from Laja, the town where I come from, and the days in there are very peaceful. We grow our own vegetables, carry our own water, swim in the river, anyway, I feel very relaxed in there.
But I’m not going to lie to you. It would be great to go to Machu Picchu and be in Peru for the first time in my life and with two great friends, as my cousin and my friend Victoria are. But I guess that trip can wait. I mean, come on! I’m going to Europe, to live in a very different culture, to face the challenge of surviving to a very different society without dying in the process.
Anyway, I’m looking forward to this summer. I really enjoy being with my family, they are very funny, and I really, really enjoy go to the river every single day.
