ya he pasado navidad ..

BUEEEENNNOOOO , my christmas was DEFINATELY not what i was expecting . all i can really say was it wasnt good or bad it was just different . i was just in my house with my family like a normal day except we has WAYYYY more food than usual . my mom made a turkey and fruit salad and chicken and well , alot more . i bought a cake for my family .. kind of my gift to them in the form of fooood . uhhh , we had a secret santa thing going on so everyone only got one present but i had my mom in the US send a package to me and it had all sorts of things for each of my family members in it so they were all happy . earlier in the night i talked to all of my family back home and it made me cry . i didnt realize how much i missed them ( ALOTTTTTT ) i cant wait to see them all again <3 . today i have my 'prom' at around 7 and all my family is coming :) well , recently i hace kind of been having doubts about staying here but i figure , what the heck i only have 6 months left so why not . itll be over before you know it . i will write more after prom and new years ! love you all :)

mi viaje a ecuador ^-^

have you ever had a surprise trip that you had to go on ? well , i had one of those this past week !! i all the sudden found out that i had to exit peru and enter ecuador so i could enter peru again to renew my visa !! ok so it sounds difficult but really it was no problem . i had to take a bus all the way to a place called tumbes , it took 13 hours to get there from chimbote ( not counting the hour and a half i had to wait for the bus! ) i left chimbote at about 12:3O at night and got there at about 2 in the afternoon ! nobody from AFS could figure out that it was me they were looking because apparantly , i " pass for a latina " .. which isnt the first time ive heard that . anyways , 1O people (students) from AFS were also there so it was fun ! we took a picture while we were crossing from peru into ecuador=D it was fun with them , we went around to kind of get to know tumbes and we were kind of in a nature area , it was so fun i had a great time with my friends .!!!

on my way back to chimbote , i had to take a bus from tumbes to trujillo (where i go all the time) and then in trujillo i bought another ticket to go from trujillo to chimbote and then a taxi from the bus station to my house ! this experience was interesting .. i must say ! but i had a great time overall !
