Ruidoso = Silencioso

Hola!
I just want to start every sentence with that... it sounds so nice and welcoming! I think I´m probably going to be greeting every moving object that way when I get home.

Ok, so wednesday. In about 6 hours, we have officially been here for one week. It´s insane, it flieees by! Anyways, today was day three of Spanish and it went really well but for some reason I was reeeally tired. I´ll have to get to bed early tonight I guess! But it was really nice out, so we had the last two hours of class on the roof! Very nice!
After class we had lunch and it was some sort of combination of vegetables and FISH. And I ATE IT! You wouldn´t even believe me, nothing scares me! At least nothing in the way of food. So we had lunch, and then some of the girls wanted to go paragliding so I went down with them and then we just walked to the supermarket. But the cheap one, not that fancy wine sampling one, although they did have some pretty crazy cakes. Like ones with insane jello flowers on top, that looked half real, and then some that were entirely jello cakes... and ones with glazed limes... we´re thinking we might give ourselves a collective birthday party at the end of the month to celebrate and eat one of those crazy things.

After we got home we did a little studying, then Koki (Jorje?) came over to teach us salsa! It was so fun, we just danced and danced in the dinning room so his crazy latin american music, I loved it! I want to remember the moves and blow the crazies at the island DPs away! haha. Anyways, we danced until we were reduced to little piles of sweat on the floor and then went back to studying our Spanish. It´s so weird learning a whole new language so late, but Rosario is a really good teacher so it´s going well.

We are thinking we might get out of Lima this weekend, and see a bit more of Peru. Lima is reallly nice, but when it comes down to it it´s just like any other big city... Kent always says it´s like living in a bubble. Anyways, I think we are going to go check out the ´Peruvian Galapagos Islands´... it´s like the cheap version for people who can´t afford to see the real thing, but there´s talk of penguins so I really want to go!

Well, that´s all for tonight, like I said, I have to to go bed eaaaarly tonight to be in tiptop shape for Spanish tomorrow... soooo hasta menana los Canadiences!
