school day!

Hola!! I said to my Lama, Pedra when I woke up. We both knew it was a new day, but just how different was it going to be? that was the question. So far for each day we have become both indigenous and foreign to eachother and the places nearest to us. Every street is to be different with another vender doing their job, and quite well might I add. Everyone be so nice so nice and so different from us. But anyways for being the 5th day in Cusco, on Tuesday the 15th, we all were to meet at the language school around 8:20 to go see another Peruvian school. So knowing we had to leave by 8:20, me, Ryan, and Maxwell all got up around seven to have breakfast with our host mother, Claudia. We had the chance to eat fresh fruit with yogurt and bread on the side. Que Rico!!
After breakfast we met our teachers and friends to start our day. We all crowded into a mini bus and off we went to the Ausangate Bilingual School just on the outskirts of Cusco. I honestly had no idea what was to come, what to expect. But it was great! we arrived and everyone was so extatic to meet all us foreigners from the Americas and we were also exited to meet them. Our main person was Zoe who was from Chicago and showed us around the school. We were led to the math room where even more 10th graders greeted us. They started out by giving a quick presentation about themselves with including their hobbies, families, and where they are from. After presentations we all went outside to play a few quick, get to know you games. But we mainly split into groups of 5 with 2 Americans and 3 Peruvians. It was really interesting how much chararistics and hobbies we all had in common. Cars, music, and mainly video games, I guess they're all the same all over the world, who knew? After our groups we went back to the math room to finish up presentations, but this time it was our turn. We created slides of ourselves before coming to Peru so we could have this moment with these students. It was really great though, getting to present ourselves through pictures and memories. We hope they learned alot about us!! we learned alot through them! Before leaving we played soccer and some volley ball and then to wrap it up we took many photos. We were all sad to go, but we knew it was a sencere goodbye when everyone decided to give a hug, and exchange their facebook names! That was good news, yeah. After leaving we went to the Ninos hotel for lunch. That was that part of the day, now its time to start the other. Hasta luego!
