Yep, that's right, the long drought of blogging is over now that I'm semi-comfortably situated in my apartment in Lima, Peru.
It's cloudy and grey, as usual, in Lima, which is appropriate given the cloudiness of my language skills right now. Tourist Spanish is one thing, but trying to negotiate payment of my rent in multiple installments with the apartment owner's Peruvian mother-in-law... whole nuther' ballgame.
Anyhow, I'll be here for the next 6 weeks, working on some anti-corruption research (who knows, maybe I'll decide to write a paper - I hear many of the more respected law journals will be running low on kindling this winter!).
I will also be busy studying at a language school trying to rapidly put a stop to the aforementioned atrocities I have been committing against the Spanish language.
And last, but certainly not least, I hope to find time to see more of this beautiful country. Suggestions are welcome (as long as they aren't of the "how about a long walk off of a steep cliff.." - I've tried that... bit bumpy at the end).
All in all - should be an interesting time.

Karol beat me to it! I was just about to say something snarky about your passport, but I had to catch-up on my delinquent posting for your Africa trip.
But, I won't let that stop me - so while you are entertaining the lovely ladies of Miraflores, please keep your passport with you at all times, especially if they are cousins of your friends and they like to flash gang signs. :o)
Oh yeah, and watch those knees! I don't have any first-hand knowledge of this, but I hear walking around Peru is really bad for your knees...
