Well, after all the excitement last week you would think that my life might settle down, but nope, that definitely did NOT happen. On Monday Bev & Dale (our GC group leaders) came to town to check in on us all, read our journals and visit our families. Tuesday they came to Caraz to see Rachel and my work/families/city and such. I ended up working about an hour and then spending the rest of the day showing them around, eating some awesome Peruvian desserts and recounting our experiences thus far. Then yesterday we hit the road bright an early for Huaraz where our whole area group got together for a last meal and meeting with Bev & Dale before they left. We found a great lil restaurant named Chilly Heaven where I got Indian curry Afterward Karen had to leave for work but the 5 of us that remained went to a hot springs about 15 min down the road. It was SO relaxing. Needless to say I am astounded that my next weekend is only a day away. The trip to the mountain lakes is still a go although now 5 or 6 people from other regions of Peru (Piura, Chimbote and Chancay) are traveling to the area to join us. Should be pretty crazy and real fun.

My other excitement this past week was some real conversation with folks outside of Peru. I got to call home for Father’s Day and it was great getting a little caught up with all the stateside happenings. Then Beth called my house and so I actually got to talk to her a while!! Yeah, distance stinks especially when access to technology isn’t always convenient. But getting to chat with her a while was a great relief. I just can’t wait for Miami! :-D Till next time, chiao!
