Before
coming to South America, I didn´t have serious sugar cravings. The Henderson´s are
known for their ability to track down chocolate, so much so that when my mother
and father were dating, my Oma would have to hide the chocolate chip cookies in
the drier so that my dad wouldn´t eat them all. Over the past four months, I´ve
turned pure Henderson.
While
hiking, climbing and exploring, you would
think I´d be as fit as a fiddle. This is not the case. If only the ratio of
hiking to cookie eating was a little more on par. Unfortunately I think that
I´m developing a few cavities and potentially and second chin. These eating
habits don´t bode well for one who is apparently ´gluten intolerant´either. The
New Zealand couple who I traveled with for some time joked, and said that they
hoped I got stuck in a tent with someone who snores and smells on our Salkantay
Trek. I hung my head as I replied ´I am that person!´ I´m quite thankful to
those who can put up with me J and very much look forward to once again
having more control over my diet and my fitness schedule.
For about a
week and a half I traveled in and out of Huaraz. Philipp, Francesco, Jana, Lexi
and I completed the 5 day Santa Cruz trek. We awoke every morning at 4 30 AM in
order to hike before the rain settled in early afternoon. The scenery was
amazing, our group was a riot. We ate delicious meals and far too many cookies.
