Sara and Matthew looking for a fortune
Blog entry number one!
How exciting right? I must admit the starting of this blog was much more difficult than I thought. We had all kinds of ideas that were really clever and played on words, but they were either taken or Sara and I could not agree on the name. example names or URL include alpaca sweater (I wanted it to be alpaca towel as a Hitchhikers guide reference) wingwingwing (like a phone), barenecisities and lettucepack. The name piefoot was chosen out of impatience. It was a version of an old idea. To inform those not in the know, pie means foot in Spanish, and foot pie sounds so tasty.
A little back story on our plans:
We are leaving for Peru on January 19, 2010. We are going to Lima, Cusco and Oropesa with most of the time being spent in Oropesa. We will both be teachers in Oropesa and will both take intense Spanish lessons in Cusco (for me more than Sara). Now you know.
That is all we are really certain of now. My mindset is to enter the journey with an open mind and see where it takes me. I am very excited about this adventure. I am also excited about blogging about my experiences.
Oh yeah. I know Sara because we both did a year of volunteering with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps (JVC) in Idaho.
OK off to one last hoorah in Columbus before we depart to Chicago.
