First note!

Ok - so I'm in a whole different world - Peru, and having all of these crazy different things happen that I want to inform you all of without writing a bazillion emails, although you know I love you all :). I do have homework tho.. actually tonight, right now! But I wanted to let everyone know how I was doing so you can check in if you want to, or not bother you if you don't! I'm having so many new experiences it's just crazy! Some are not so fun, and some are exciting, but all hopefully well worth it! So here's the blog of Peru - to let the rents know I'm not dead (which they pretty much did think before they heard from me!!), and my sisters up to date and not just gushy emails about what Preston is doing every single second (Mandy) and my hardships and tough "problems" (Pagina), and able my friends to read when they miss me :). I'm in Starbucks right now about 3 blocks from my house in Larcomar. I live in Miraflores in an apartment in the middle of... everything! I live in the action basically and am attempting to do homework (homework on the second day of intense spanish - what the heck?) soon, after I created this blog of course, priorities! I had my second day of class today, and I finally got home on the bus! They call them 'combis' and they are.. a little sketch, but it's the norm, so what the heck. It's this little bus that's really dirty and they're all over Lima to get around, super cheap, about 2 soles (3 soles is about $1) and they try and pack as many people in there as possible so they can make more money. And it's hotter than heck as you can imagine. The combi probably naturally fits 14 people but I think about 20 or so were in it tonight. Then when you want to get off you have to yell, "Baja baja baja," and they pull over whenever you like lol. Little dif and little sketch, but it's how it works! And the traffic... well crazy is an understatement! Then I went home and my maid made me supper, I have no idea what I ate. They eat rice with everything, and they eat LOTS for meals. There are so many little things that you just don't have any idea about.. for example, I asked my maid what I was eating and I had no idea what she said of course, so - oh well! Lol, also bread always appears in the doorway of the living room each morning and I have no idea how it gets there. So many small things to figure out, that I'll keep posted! So I'll post often to keep everyone updated :) Hope you all are doing well and to hear from you soon! :) Besos.
