Took a trip to a city called Caraz from the 9th of February to the 17th of February. It was veerryy fun, especially since I was finally able to take a picture with a really fat alpaca. (Except that it had lost quite a bit of weight since I had seen a picture of it X( ) And now my mom is here for a week. She has already been here for three days, and she seems to be adapting very well. The only thing she really dislikes are the buses. Since ive been here for a while, im used to it. Shell probably miss me a ton when she goes, but ill be back in four months. I might also move to a completely different city next month...but it depends on if the rotary here ever answers me :/

Have not posted in a looooong time...but there has not been very much to do lately. I had to help translate/run errands for doctors in a hospital for about nine days, which was actually really cool, because I was able to view some of the surgeries from overhead. I even got to see someone's hip bone get grafted into their mouth. After that, the only exciting thing that happened is that another exchange student from the US came to live in my house for a month to visit Lima. She was sent from the US to Arequipa so she lived quite a while away from here. I will try to keep my blog updated more sufficiently (even though I have said that before) and will put more of my adventures in Peru in it very soon. Chau.
