Hello! I know i really didn´t write much last week, which is no good because it was filled with quite a bit of stuff.
So i got to play some soccer back at the same place, this time going smoothly. Had to wait all day for it to happen, but it was great once it got going. I can´t think of anything really big happening wednesday...i think, if i remember correctly, my spanish group and i went up the road to Chosica, were we bought food from the market to take back to the center to cook. There are some nasty stuff in the market, including what i would be willing to bet is the ugliest dog of all time. Imagine, if you will, an average size dog that resembles a mix between a greyhound and a lab. Now, only put a little bit of manegy hair on it´s head and shoulderblades, keeping the rest just a dried out gray skin color. Then you look a little further down to the nearly 7 inch long breasts and nipples that every so gently brush the ground it walks on. Yeah...try to eat anythign about witnessing that abomination.
That evening i made a run into Lima because one of my friends hurt his ankle while playing b-ball. It was a several hour event, and ended with him having to get a cast because he had a torn-ligament.
Thursday was an important day, because it happened to be my birthday. Most of the day went pretty slow, but i didn´t expect much different. HOwever, the the U.S. ambassador to Peru came and gave a speech/discussion to our group (but i know it was really just because he knew it was my bday). After classes were done, i was told i couldn´t go outback to the patio area just yet. A few minutes later i was brought in to a huge group of people that had surrounded a piñata, and then there was Chris in a filthy barney costume that he had borrowed from the local library. (side note: The funniest thing was that chris apparently ran full speed to the library, grabbed the barney costume, and then headed back full speed while little kids yelled for barney! Also, the suite was so dusty and haggard, that he probably has some type of unknown fatal-illness now...or at least herpes). So that was fun. They got a cake for me as well, so that was nice. Afterwards, a large group of us went for a couple beers.
That night i had chris, kate, and matt over to watch a movie. About the time when they were ready to head home and pass out, my host family came in with more cake, soda, and beer. So they stayed and we watch these random music video mix dvds that my host brother Raul loves. They really make you feel like it is 1996 again.
Friday....well i´ll get to that in my next catch up blog after dinner!
