Bingo Night in the Heights

March 1, 2014

Y'all. I'm going to Peru. In a feverish fit of "I need to do something wild and independent and exciting and visit some more countries," I booked a solo trip to Peru for later in the year to visit Lima, Cusco, and hike Machu Picchu, followe...

A Trip to the Suburbs: Christopher's in Humble
