Christmas Day in Peru!! I stayed up until midnight last night, and when the clock hit midnight, fireworks were going off like crazy!! We ate dinner at the latest time that i have ever eaten it, and toasted to a merry christmas!! i got some very good presents from my family!! They got me a beach towel, flipflops, new swiming trunks, and a puzzle of macchu pichu!! Now i get to look forward to the new year, when i am sure that everything will be much crazier!!

once again, havent posted in quite a while. schools almost over. just three more days of exams this next week and ill be out until i have to go to college in march. also the graduation ceremony will be on the 16th of december and the "Prom" will be on the 17th. in fact i have to go buy two flowers for my date today, as well as go to a rotary meeting. it should be quite fun. ive kind of put a hold on trying to learn quechua, which is the native language of peru, because i still lack a book. the language itself, however, does not seem too different from english, so ill be fine.
