Midterms and Lunahuaná

Midterms were last week and besides not having any of my notes, which I will explain in a moment, I think I did pretty well. The reason I didn't have any notes is because my bag was stolen while I was studying with friends at a Starbucks. No worries, I am ok it was just quite an experience. Thank goodness I had friends with me when it happened because I forgot how to speak in Spanish and I was a mess. Anyway, we have insurance through my study abroad program so everything will get replaced, it was just the studying for my midterms part that really wasn’t fun. Luckily, I have friends in all of my classes so I was able to get copies of their notes and now all is well.

After midterm week, my program went on a two day trip. We went to a town called Lunahuaná. It is a small town about 3 hours south of Lima. We went river rafting, wine and honey tasting, trekking, rode horses, and got to soak up some sun. I had never been rafting before and it was really fun! We were only on a level one river, but that was totally fine with me. The picture on this post is from the winery. It was pretty sweet and I actually liked one of the samples they gave us. On Sunday, we woke up and went trekking. At the end of our trek there was a mummy. A real one. It was wicked and kind of gross. The rest of the day we didn’t want to do anything except for lay by the pool because it was very sunny and this is something we aren’t used to being in Lima because of the clouds. Speaking of sun, I got real sun burnt. And yes Dad I put sun block on, don’t ask me what happened.

This week it’s back to classes and homework. A few of us might be headed out of town this weekend but I am not for sure yet, if so I'll be sure to take some good pictures.

Hasta luego,
