It was a short week this week. Classes were cancelled on Friday due to a Peruvian holiday. Honestly, I have no idea what the holiday was for or called, except that everybody got off school and banks were closed. So, we spent the day in Chosica at another fundraiser event. Remember that one soccer event a few weeks ago that 5to Secundaria put on to raise money for their trip to Cusco? Well, there are 2 different sections of that class. One section raised money a few weeks ago and the other raised money on Friday. It was fun - food, foosball, FIFA, soccer, music. Lots of people showed up, and it seemed like a pretty good success. The kids also did this thing to raise money where they "arrest" you, put you in jail, and then you can't leave until you've paid your bail. Wish I had thought of that one in high school!
We had our usual classes on Saturday mornings, this week focused on the importance of compromise in solving conflict. Our morning classes came along with hectic planning for our trip to Cusco next week. So far, we have plane tickets there and back. But, nothing else. Eh, we're only going to one of the most touristic places in the world during the month of July. At least it's a start!
After lunch, we combied to Lima. There, we visited with our Pacífico friends, ate torta de galletas (cake with pudding and crackers), pollo a la braza, and then went to the MC Flat party. Interesting and funny, to say the least. Anyways, I headed back late and went to sleep. Today was a very calm, relaxing day. Woke up, ate breakfast, showered, chilled, and then watched the Euro Cup final....embarrassing. But, on the bright side, I learned how to make maki rolls from one of Susy's friends. So, we all ate homemade maki for lunch! Afterwards, I met up with the rest of the trainees and headed back to Chosica. Now, it's laundry time and class-planning time. Back to work.
