We visited PromPeru for a tour and presentation.
PromPeru gave us a private presentation of their programs and goals.
It's great to see so many citizens attend the workshop to better their economy and living conditions!
This is what a typical class at Ponticia Universidad Catolic del Peru looks like. Notice how attentive we are!
It’s another cloudy day. My clothes are still not dry after three days because it’s been cloudy. And our room smells like wet dogs since it’s covered in wet clothes. Proomie also did laundry, but we managed to fit all our clothes on the unused top bunk.
I miss the American clothes dryer, but I’m in Peru so I can’t complain! Apparently we had a small earthquake overnight–I must have slept through it! I’m such a heavy sleeper.
We started the day earlier at 8 a.m. instead of 9, but I was less sleepy. We visited PromPeru for a tour and presentation. PromPeru is a commission for the promotion of exportation and tourism in Peru. We participated in the workshop that’s free to all, and then an official gave us a private presentation upstairs of PromPeru’s programs and goals. It’s great to see so many citizens attend the workshop to better their economy and living conditions!
We had rice, beef and sweet potatoes with Peruvian sauce drizzled on top, flan and pear juice for lunch. We went to the campus bookstore and bought pens and sweaters.
I bought a Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru sweater in a crimson color. Boomer Sooner from PUCP!
We switched things up today and had class in the afternoon instead of morning. I’m not sure that’s a good idea since we usually get sleepy after lunch. We learned about the economy of Latin America in today’s class. It’s nice to be done by 5 p.m. today for a change, but there’s construction next door to our host home. I also miss laws of the U.S.A. That sounds silly, but it seems like there’s not much of law and order here in Peru. There are not (or at least that I know of) any laws about construction work. Construction goes on until late here in Peru…MUST IGNORE DRILLING NOISES.
We had rice, mashed potatoes and chicken with a special Peruvian sauce and caramel crepes and Peruvian ice cream for dinner. The mother of our host mom is such a great cook!
Dr. Kenney had plans with his family, but we enjoyed our host dad’s company. I had a long conversation with Ricardo, our host dad, about traveling and the importance of experiencing the world. He knows all about that since he owns a travel agency. I love practicing Spanish with him because he makes me feel comfortable, and I’m not worried about being wrong.
I jammed to music via my iTunes library with my housemate and watched Usher music videos wishing we were the girls in the videos. Hahaha not really…but Usher is good-looking!
We have bonded so much so quickly! It’s just something about traveling and getting to know a country that makes us all bond.
I can’t believe we have been in Peru for 11 days!
