This week was crazy with a lot of language lessons and a lot of crazy sessions like the week before, this week was pretty dense with information however on Thursday we got a special treat. Thursday our youth development group visited a school, we got to sit in on classes and talk to the teachers and students. It was a pretty amazing school, and we learned a lot about how different classes can be even within the same establishment. It was a great expierence, and i am sure i will be adding pictures sooner rather than later.
We also got a great surprise on friday, a carnival. We played games and indulged in Peruvian culture by particpating in games all day of different Peruvian celebrations. I have a video of a cuy (guinea pig) that runs in a cirlce, and runs into a box, and you get to bet on which one it will go into...i of course picked seven, and i won on the first round...muahahaha...then we got to cut down a tree (actually a huge branch that we planted into the ground for this specific activity). We got to dance to traditional music and cut down the tree with a machete (spelling ha) the tree was full of presents and it was a great day.
We then got out of school early around 12 and a bunch of us went to a concrete soccer field and played soccer for two hours, i scored four goals!!!!! Then we hung out in my friend Amanda and Nicks back yard, where there happens to be a river. It was overall the perfect day and provided us not only with some amazing cultural information but also sometime to unwind, considering our week has been so hectic. (At the moment we are forming youth groups within the community)
Today we went to Lima and it was amazing...i will be updating more when i have time, but all you need to know for know is that i am in a food coma...Pinkberry, Starbucks, Ceviche, Tacu Tacu...yum yum yum yum yum....
More to come, but until then!
Paz :)
