Hi hi y'all, I've managed to get my uncle to let me use his computer, so here I am!
Peru's been more or less lovely since I got here. The flight was 6 hours long (7 if you include the hour delay in take off) and during the flight I watched Fame, which just further convinced me that school is ftl. After teh movie I just plumb fell asleep until we landed.
Once landing, we (my mom and I) had to wait at the baggage claim thingy to get our luggage (and some clothes in 4 giant bags that we'd promised to deliver for a travel agency in return to half pricing our tickets... Bloody hell those things were heavy) And by the time we actually get out of the airport and meet our family, it's 1 am. After having a bit of a time finding out how to haul all the baggage (they'd only brought two small Volkswagons), we were on our way to their house (they being my uncle, my cousins, and aunt) After getting there we unloaded, and set about to talk for another 2 hours. As most of the conversation was in Spanish, I was lost quite a bit (I can speak it a little, but they talk so fast x_X) And then I finally went to sleep at 3 am... for 12 hours <.<
After waking up in the afternoon, we sat around, I met the rest of the family, and then my cousin (Chito) took me to meet his mother's side of the family.
There was much booze and cigarette smoking there... (I took no part of it)
After that all, we went to a restaurant, and we had anticucho (I will not tell you what it is, as it will gross y'all out)
After the loverly meal, we came back home, and I managed to get my uncle to let me use the computer, where I started to type this post!
It's been a very lax two days, but I start teaching tomorrow I think, so that's all gonna change soon.
I'll try to post a new entry every other day or so, so loyal fans of this blog enjoy :P
Ciao <3
