Caitlin and I were going to our project this morning. However, before that, we had to stop at Maximo Nivel to pick up the care package that my mother left me (for the kids, not for me). As usual, along the way to the school there were some kids (Andrea and Joseba) that were on there way up as well. We took them by the hand all the way up to the school. The Spaniards were not here today and were not going to be here anymore. As soon as I entered the class, all of...

Today, the school in which I have my project was closed because it was teacher appreciation day. So Caitlin, Kevin (another Kevin from Ireland that now lives with us), Morat, Kelly, Winnie, Maria, and myself decided to go to the Inka Museum (probably the biggest one in Cuzco) today. Most of the people that were with us had their orientation at 12pm, so they wanted to kill time before. When we got there, around 10:30am, we found out that it cost 10 Soles (or 3$),...

I was really excited about today because I was going to have an educational and cultural day. I got up and decided to make french crepes again (I made some yesterday morning as well).

When we got to the Plaza des Armas, we were feeling a bit hungry so we decided to try Bembos. Bem...

Today, a bunch of us were going white-river rafting on the Urabumba river. I was really excited because I have never went river rafting before. We were all meeting at the Plaza des Armas, in front of the Mayuc office at 9am. I was going with Sabine, Hassan, Wes, Danny, Logan, Nassim, and Jessica. Mayuc was the company that serviced the river-rafting. The name comes from Quetchua. "Pachimama" means mother earth and "mayuc" means the veins of pa...

I got up today, usual time, to go to my project with Caitlin. We met up with one of the children along the way. It was so cute because she wanted to hold my hand the whole way up the mountain (to our project). The day started with the usual songs that the kids sing before entering into their respective classrooms. Today, we were going to try to match things that rhymed. On the kids' worksheet there were the drawings of a avion, casa, tetera, and below were drawin...
