Two weeks down.

My Spanish teachers, Diana & Elsa, and me
The best view on the way to the Casa de Avila. (the Chili River and Chachani volcano)















This past week I went to the school ( pictured above) on Tuesday and Thursday. I´m slowly learning the names of the students, but learning all 40 will take me a week or two. I´m really excited to start full-time this week; that means a lot of time lesson planning and buying supplies, but I´m ready for a change of pace..















This is me with El Misti (5800 meters), one of the three volcanos that overlooks Arequipa. This picture was taken yesterday on our way up Pichu Pichu (another volcano) to visit the Salinas Lake.


This is our group at Salinas Lake. There wasn´t any water, so there were no flamingos, but it was absolutely beautiful, and we were even able to see the Ubani volcano spewing some...stuff (below). Also below is a picture of the Inca-inspired terraces.
