I woke up in Lima, Peru on Christmas Eve and knew little more than five Spanish phrases — most of which were incomprehensible because of my shabby pronunciation.
The following morning, however, I became a bit more optimistic. I downloaded a translation application for my iPhone and knew that this would help me become fluent over the next three weeks. My high spirits lasted until I reached the street and realized that traffic in Peru doesn’t stop for pedestrians and the sun was intense enough that by mid-afternoon my skin had burnt to a crisp shade of pink.
