Budget #7- Time to get a job!

BUDGET FOR THE MONTH OF JULY…

WE SPENT HOW MUCH?!!

COUNTRIES VISITED: Columbia, Ecuador, Peru

For those of you who follow along on Facebook, you may already know that we have decided to stop in Huanchaco, Peru for a few months and try to find some work.  After this past month we realized that it was time to take a break and make some money.  So here it is folks…

GAS- $300.78
Once we hit Ecudor, life was good.  At $1.50/gallon we were tempted to just drive around in circles all day.

TRANSPORTATION- $74.65
Includes insurance for the car, parking fees, bus tickets, boat rides, and tolls.

ACCOMMODATIONS- $941.17
$540 of this is for our new pad and deposit

EATING OUT- $466.06

LIQUOR AND BEER- $51.15
Includes some champagne and liquor for the 4th. It was a party for two however, since obviously no one in Ecuador knew/cared about our US independance.  Go ‘Merica!

Includes tour of Isla de La Plata to see some blue footed boobies, 4 day/3 night tour into the Amazon, tickets to visit Mitad del Mundo, and entrance fee to banos del Inca (Inca Baths) to take a bath the way the Incas did…well kind of
