Peru!

Well we have been here for 6 days now, 1/3 or of our trip. Each day has been completely packed with stuff to do, see and learn. Last night was a major highlight for me. We stayed in a small village with local families. Jann (prof), the two other female students and I stayed together with one family. The guys left in the afternoon and we were toured around the crops by the campesino (farmer) who farmed it and was our host for the evening. Then we went to the second floor of the home which had half walls and a roof and watched the rain storm. We then chatted with the couple who owned the house over tea and bread and went to bed. Illness is starting to hit people here but seems to be passing in a few hours to a day. Tomorrow we travel out to some of the oldest ruins in South America Chavin de Huantar and then board a bus tomorrow night for an overnight bus ride back to Lima. We stay in Lima for a good chunk of time which will be nice as we get a chance to sleep in the same bed for more than one night. Well it´s time for me to get to bed. I´m exhausted. I can´t wait to get home to be able to post pictures and hopefully more coherent blots!
