Hola from Puno Peru!

I don´t have much time to write, as I quickly realized, because of how much stuff we end up doing during our free time! I mean, if you think about it, who wants to sit around a computer when you can go see the world and the beautiful country of Peru?! Well, I have now been here for one week, and just wanted to fill you in quickly on some of the things I have noticed and some of the places I have been. Here goes:
-Keyboards in foreign countries are crazy weird!
-Tourists are all over Peru! We´ve actually been to some of the same places in a row with 2 different groups, one of europeans and one with a couple of fun australian guys! It´s hilarious!
- Bartering for gifts and souveigners is SOO fun!!
-Honestly, my 2 1/2 years of highschool spanish is taking me sooo much farther than I ever thought it would. It´s amazing!
-Peruvian men like me...and it´s both terrifying and kinda fun. :) lol.
-Feeding baby llamas or baby alpacas is about the cutest thing ever!!! ç
-Bus rides get really old really fast
-It´s their winter here in Peru, and it´s like our spring in Colorado-something between the 60´s and 80´s every day, and a little colder at night. It´s PERFECT!!
- I sunburn easily. But, so far I´ve only done that once, and that was enough!
-Never ever ever ever flush toilet paper. Figured that one out pretty quickly...
- Hand sanitizer is KEY!!!
-There are never any toilet seats. Ever. You get used to squating. It´s LOADS of fun! Not.
-Showers are tempermental.
-Every place you go in this country, it never seems to have a bad view of the absolutely GORGEOUS landscape.
- DRESS IN LAYERS!!

Well, here´s a brief list of the places I´ve been, and I will write more later, but there´s a 15 minute limit...so I gotta go!

-Lima, Nazca, Pisco, Ariquipa, Colca Canyon, Puno.

Love you all!!
