- The first or second day, driving in the taxi...I saw a dead woman on the street. Wonderful start to Peru.
- Chifa is popular it’s like Chinese restaurants
- I got to be with babies, or every other day I mean. Liam and Milly and etc, so sweet. These babies seem to all have deformities.
- I brought balloons for the older kids today, they loved it. More than the squishy toys I brought the first day
- Went to Kennedy Park in Miraflores today, it’s famous for the amount of cats that roam it, I saw maybe 20+ cats just straight chillin in the grass and trees
- Barranco is an amazing little part of Lima, very hipster and artsy. I’ve explored/went out drinking in Barranco maybe three or four times since I last posted
- The bridge in barranco, you have to make a wish and walk across it holding ur breath to have it come true
- Had pisco sours with the other homestay, Cecilia and Rafael and Nicholas, with Anna and the girls. Did some dancing, Rafael was drunk a Hahahha yeah sure
- Our group is chill, it’s oxana (Russian who lives in Italy), Anna (from NYC but lives in Boston, who just left last night), Kyla (DC but lives in California), and Sydney (from Rochester, NY, LOLOLOLOL)
- Lucuma is an amazing fruit u can only get here, for ice cream and it’s cold. I did have a bread of it and a Frappuccino of it today, so bomb
- Went paragliding, THE ADRENALINE
- Went to Huacachina in Ica, Peru (4 hour bus ride there) to do some sand boarding in the dunes, the sand buggy ride was pretty much a rollercoaster, I peed a little from the steep drops... I was so sure we were going to flip
- Oh, went out in barranco Friday night and didn’t get back till 4am, half an hour to leave for our bus to Huacachina. I was lit. Team no sleep. Nuff said
- Cusqueno beer is bomb, the dark lager
- Barranco market is dope
- 1/3 of the population is considerably poor from what I was told
- The kids I see are Monday through Friday 9am to 12:30pm and I take a bus that is usually packed full for one sole each way
- Corn is so large and a huge variety here, there is a snack of eating warmed up kernels, fluffy and salted, yummmm
- Went to La Punta again, to see ocean with some girls
- Wednesday I am preparing an art lesson for the girls that live in a private home for abused girls. Sock puppets. Last Wednesday they braided my hair and painted my nails, all around teens
- Saw some sea lions or they call them sea wolves, millions of birds and one penguin out on a boat ride around huacachina
- Ayahuasca is a club/bar in Barranco that we went a few times
- La Punta is a pebbled beach btw
I’ll try to write more but when I think of stuff I usually write a note in my phone but I’m being extra cautious with my phone here. So less notes to jog my blurred memory. I leave Saturday for Cusco and I’ll be there till the 31st of July.
