Learning and LEAVING

Buenas nochesssss

This week has been so full of learning. Class every day from 9 to 1 just makes me want to die. Monday, we just learned in the classroom. Afterwards, we went on an Evelyn-excursion to Huaca Pucllana, a big pile of ruins in the middle of Miraflores. I was SO not having it that day, I just didn't want to look at more old rocks. So I took a ton of pictures of everything but the ruins. It happens.

Tuesday, I honestly can't remember what we did. I think we were in the classroom. YES because Monday we actually went to Los Mercados en Magdalena del Mar and I found a man selling coffee who stole my heart. His booth smelled like heaven. After only having had instant decaf coffee for three weeks now, the (free!) cup of real rich delicious coffee he gave me was divine. I am definitely buying some and figuring out the old ass coffee maker up in the bachelorette pad.

So, Tuesday was class. I napped afterwards.

Wednesday is another day I don't remember. I think we just had class. Hell, man. I need to start tracking my days better because this is unacceptable.

THURSDAY WAS AMAZING. Instead of class, we went to Callao to go to a submarine museum and we got to go inside the submarine! It. Was. Awesome. I don't know why but sea vessels really intrigue me. I loved it wayyy too much. The rest of the group was less than jazzed but I was so excited I really didn't care. In my next life I will be una submarinera.

After class, Biz and I went back to the university, had lunch with our new Peruvian friends (!!!) from school. They invited us to go out in Barranco later so of course we said yes. We went home, went to the laundromat, bought altitude pills and Inca Cola (which is growing on me) and had dinner with our family for the first time in days. Then we got dressed and ready and went out! They picked us (me, Biz, Ashley) up at the Metro around the corner from our house and we drove along the oceanfront to Barranco. We went to a bar, played some drinking games, discovered that one of the guys is a male stripper, went to another club, danced, drank, etc. Let's just say the evening ended with me frolicking in my undies on a beach while under the influence of various substances. It was awesome.

Today (Friday!) we had a test in class. I didn't care about it.

And finally tomorrow morning we leave for our trip! The trip is a total of nine days, so I'll be back in March. We're starting in Puerto Maldonado, on the outskirts of la selva and spending two nights in the JUNGLE. I am going to find a puma. Then we're flying to Cusco, where we'll be for four nights. We're taking a day trip to Machu Picchu (!!!!) and learning to weave fabrics. I cannot wait for that guhhh. Then we take a scary bus to Lago Titicaca. I don't know what we're doing there but I'm still excited!

So that's it for now, everyone! I'll be back in a week and a half with an enormous entry and tons of pictures. For now, stay happy and beautiful <3
