So last night turned in to a very strange but hilarious night. It started when we heard a brass band playing outside so we went to check it out and there was some kind of fiesta around the main square with traditional dancers and music from live brass bands. After a while we decided to go in search for a bar and with some dodgy directions from the hotel reception we headed off through town.

So we have just got back from our 'Indiana John' trek through the jungle and it was an amazing day! There was me, Elizabeth and a Peruvian student called Alejandra on the trek, along with our guide, Juan. The trek started with an easy walk along the river, as we are lower than Huancayo altitude is not a problem, but the tropical heat was, meaning that walking even on a flat level in the midday sun I began to sweat, profusely.

We had a meeting about the after shool club on Tuesday night as we are now able to hire a teacher to work with the children ...

Sorry its been a few days since my last ´post, this is mainly because we spent the last couple of days hungover. On saturday night we decided to play drinking games before heading out to the club. This soon turned in to one crazy night with excessive amounts of drinks, dancing and singing with strangers and a live band. We did have plans to go paintballing 10am on Sunday but after getting in at 5:30am we decided against it and instead spent the day hungover in...
