The TOP 10 Peruvian things to get used to:

1) Bread for breakfast and dinner.
2) The weird English accents\phrases of some of the volunteers.
3) Days without water (luckily only one of those so far).
4) Not flushing the toilet paper. I forget constantly.
5) Being stared at for wearing sandals and colorful clothing.
6) Dogs barking from the rooftops.
7) Bartering for everything.
8) Wearing SPF50 sunscreen everyday. And still getting slightly burnt.
9) Getting out of breath from walking a flight of stairs (because of the altitude).
10) Not having a cell phone. What did I ever do without one?

Just two more days of Spanish classes and then I´ll be in the school everyday from 8-4. It´s a long exhausting day, I´m sure. I´ve been in the school for 5 hours at the longest and feel about ready to collapse when I return home. Five days a week of 8 or 9 hour days working with rowdy children will surely be a test of endurance. Props to all you teachers.

This Saturday a bunch of the volunteers are going on a day trip to the Salinas Lake, which is covered in salt this time of the year and apparently attracts tons of flamingos.

I am now able to post pictures, so those will be coming shortly.
Con todo mi amor,
Jenna
