Day Two

My first full day in Cusco.
I was woken up this morning at 6 because i needed to have enough time to welcome the day before my 8:30 spanish class. After I pleaded I got another hour.

My first class was from 8:30 to 12:50 and with two other students from Germany. I also met a girl from Canada who is my age and we are going to be working together in the same work space. My volunteer coordinator recently wrote me saying that my original work site now has too many volunteers so they are arranging for me to work with Allison (canada)

I can already feel my spanish getting better even though it is only the first day, lets see how it is by the end of the month.

Well not much else happened today. After my classes I walked to the city center with my host mom and walked around. She had to get home but I stayed and walked around some more looking in shops and simply looking.

there was some sort of protest going on in the San Blas Center but I couldnt figure out what it was. There was a baracade of police officers fully equiped and a lot of peruvians yelling. I tried asking but I guess im not at that level yet.

I have also never seen so many dogs on the street. There are all different types of breeds traveling in packs and at night they are all over the garbage. Their hair is wirey and scabed but they are so cute. I wouldnt touch one but they are fun to watch interact during my breaks from school when I sit in the court yard. For example today there was even a puppy, not more than a few weeks old. A german shepard too, just a warning mom I may not be the only one returning.

well Ill work on making these more interesting.
for now its dinna time

  1. would you really bring a puppy from Peru?
    I'll meet you half way. When we get a new dog we can call him Peru in honor of those you are watching. Sending hugs.
