Cashews

The most elusive nut in all of Cusco
I had a craving for some cashews and searched for three days
I finally found some Emerald Nut Cashews in a mega market for 35soles or about 15$

They were worth it.

On another note yesterday was so much fun at Remar
When I got there I was the only volunteer but it wasnt a problem and I helped serve lunch and read some books with the kids then all of a sudden a tranquil day turned into a party.

a news crew from some peruvian channel showed up because they were doing a documentary on Remar to give them exposure and raise money for their move (they recently bought a bigger house and are moving out next week)
so I get to be on peruvian TV woo!

And while all of this is going on the other volunteer shows up with cake because she said it looked pretty in the window. So everybody got cake!

then we all filed outside for a group picture and it was just a really great day.

To top it off in the night I had a traditional peruvian cooking lesson (chicken stir fry) Which I thought was really entertaining. But it was good company and good time

Then afterwards the call center stayed open later so I could talk to Sam for a while and i thanked them very much for that. Theyre getting to know me, its funny.

Im heading over to Remar now but thought id update here first since there was no internet in Cusco yesterday I was unable to do so.
I went into an internet cafe yesterday and asked to use the internet and the man responded no because there was no internet in cusco, but he was laughing so I thought he was joking but he wasnt. it was a very interesting interaction.

I also think something is either wrong with my email or nobody loves me enough to respond to my emails. So im gonna forward some sent messages again in hopes they go through.

  1. Hi Eva,
    Did you get the email I sent you? Let me know. Now that I have your address, too, I will send the SAT books you wanted.
    It's cold and rainy here.
