The next part of our journey!

Well, our amazing trip around the world had to come to an end. We had "the best time EVER!!" We are grateful for the opportunity to have taken a year off, see the world, meet wonderful people, show my family Argentina, and spend the time together. On our trip we got engaged, and now we are heading towards that next step in our lives!

Agustin and I are currently learning a lot about the US system and steps it takes to marry a foreigner. Its NOTHING like the movies!! The process to just bring him to the US according the website takes anywhere between 7 months to a YEAR. And the amount of papers, forms, and checks we had to send in the US Government, it was like being back at school! The stack of papers was about 4 inches thick!!!

Well, we are currently at month 6 in the process:) Its been frustrating at times, but fortunately we found an amazing website that has helped us a lot and we haven't had to use a Lawyer! To help the time fly Agustin is busy down in Argentina being an architect and I am teaching at a new school and working at the same restaurant as I was before the trip.

We have a wedding date almost set for June 18, 2011.....nothing will be set in stone until Agustin actually sets foot on US soil!!!!

Once we are married, that is when the real paperwork begins!!

We got up at 4:30AM to head out to get on the bus to take us to Machu Picchu!! The bus ride from Aqua Caliente to Machu Picchu took about 15 minutes straight up the mountain!
The following pictures are of Machu Picchu, its an amazing site built in the middle of beautiful mountains!!
