El Ultima Dia En Lima...

Hola!
Wow, it´s crazy, but today is our last full day in Lima! We leave for Cusco tomorrow, and I think it´s safe ot say that everyone is suuuper excited, and a little sad! But first, a recap of the week:
It´s a little jumbled in my head when we did what up until wednesday but some time between monday and wednesday we watched Indiana Jones (Kent had a burned copy of the new one, and we were pumped because it takes place in Peru... but it was NOT good.) We did a little Cindy, learned a little Spanish, and planned our Machu Picchu trip! Also, we had a night where Kels and I walked to the grocery store with out sunglasses on at night and bought some ice cream, which we brought back to the house and all of us got on the floor and ate it out of the carton.
Wednesday we had a lot of prep to do, because thursday was our communal birthday. Basically, we wanted to have a little celebration with everyone (Kent and Ana Maria, Lupe our chef, and Roasio our teacher) before leaving, and we wanted it to have a theme. So the theme was birthday, and as soon as we woke up thursday morning we were saying happy birthday to everyone! (Except it was really Feliz cumpleaños!) Anyways, we did a little prep wednesday night, and it was crazy because it is NOT easy finding cake mix etc. in a Peruvian grocery store (luckily we came across a British man who was very nice and helped us out. He was pumped that we were Canadian!) That night we worked on decorations and presents (we made little personalized books for all our teachers/coordinators, etc), and planned on baking a cake, but it was a gas stove and we were out of propane, so the cake had to wait!
Thursday we got up and greeted everyone with ´Feliz Cumpleaños´! We had Spanish in the morning, and spent the rest of the day baking and finalizing all of our plans. People came over at 7, and by people I mean Ana Maria, Kent, Katie, Lupe and her son Antony, and Rosario and her friend Roberto. It was so fun! We played pin the tail on the llama, ate a Canadian flag cake, blew out candles, sang, danced, played celtic music, it was so fun! AND before the party we had a conversation with Lupe, which means our Spanish is getting pretty decent.
This morning was our LAST Spanish class... which was crazy. And then we had our last lunch. And then we packed for our morning flight to Cusco... it is so crazy! I am reaaaally excited about going, because I´m sure it´s going to be unreal, but like I said earlier a little sad to go! I guess we just got really confortable here ... I love the house, know the city, and feel like family with the Volunteer Abroad staff. But this was only chapter one, haha, so we are off tomorrow to do what we came here to do, which I am extremely pumped about!
Two previous volunteers stopped by earlier this week, Angela and Austin. They travelled for two months after their placement and we just heading home to Canada this week, so they stopped by to say bye before heading home. It was cool, because they had worked at the same place where we are headed, and lived with the same host family, and loved it! So that was good to hear.
Anyways, I better finish packing, but I put some birthday photos up so be sure to check them out!
Hasta Tomorrow!
