well it is April 23rd and i only have about 79 days left here in peru. while being here my last few months i am going to school daily and waiting for my trip to cusco with AFS in june . sometimes i go out with my sisters to the city , or sometimes we go to trujillo to shop or something for a day which is always fun :) i made a grilled cheese for my mom here and she liked it :)also i bought tortillas and a chicken breast to make chicken quesadillas =) im really just counting down the days right now until my cusco trip and coming back home. im excited to come back to America and study in OUR kind of schools.. it will be such a relief to see good grades and to FULLLY understand because it will be on the level that i am supposed to study. ahhh what a relief that will be! i miss my family and i want to see them. hopefully we will have a get together when i get home . today is my brother's wifes birthday here in Peru so we are going to have a little dinner for her , there will be pictures dont worry !! and tomorrow im going to trujillo so i can buy my boots for cusco =)when i get back from cusco i will only have a few days left to be here in peru. i have a feeling things will be sad because ive grown with this family so much.. its going to be really different to go back and live life without them. i will have to call them alot and hopefully i can come back to visit them sometime soon. live without siblings will be relaxing i think now that i know how it is to have them.. im thankful my brother in USA is 12 years older than me haha.

well , im going to watch my novela ( mar del amor ) <-- thats its name if youd like to look it up!!! =)

here is a picture of a birthday party i went to ( my sister and my friend )

LIMAAA CAPITAL DEL PERU !!

hey everyone !!

lately ive been doing alot more , which is exactly what ive been wanting :) i went to lima with my host moms sister ( mi tia ) to her house for a little over a week . it was during 'semana santa' which is easter week in usa . while i was downtown lima i got to see a ceremony - type thing with the virgin mary , everyone was in the street and it was really moving to see all those people there for the same casue/ reason . i took a video !! it was really cool because it was unexpected. i just happened to be in the right place at the right time . the next day i went to a water display called ' parque de aguas ' it was REALLLY pretty , and it was telling kind of a story of peru .. i took a video of that also !!

i had a really nice time even from being in the taxi and observing everything with my aunt it was also really nice to get a break away from my house in chimbote.. which i think i needed at that moment . but dont get me wrong , i ABSOLUTELY love my host family and i wouldnt change them now if i could .. no way . my aunt that i stayed with had different values and costoms .. which is surprising because it is the sister of my host mom so i thought they would be something alike but nope .. COMPLETELY different . maybe it has something to do with the people they married or their life after just being at home helping mom , or high school . . it just puts my mind to work how thing work out and why . and i wonder how much im going to change..

FOOOOD !!! my aunts food was way different also .. well since her husband is from japan she made things with alot of soy sauce.. it was something different that im not used to so i liked it :)



MORE TO COME SOON .. going out to eat pizzzza =)
