Pictures

Hi!

Everything's still going well. I've visited a formation of natural rock towers (Torre Torre), hiked to a laguna, visited village specializing in weaving and silver jewelry, and visited pre-Incan ruins that overlook most of the Montero Valley. The Andes are absolutely amazing, and classes are still going great!

Here´s a link to the pictures I´ve taken so far: http://www2.snapfish.com/thumbnailshare/AlbumID=1150038014/a=136417991_136417991/otsc=SHR/otsi=SALBlink/COBRAND_NAME=snapfish/

First few days

Hi!

The trip here was a little rocky (a flight got canceled and they lost one of my bags) but my time here to far has been incredible! I´m staying in a small hostel in Huancayo, where I have met some really amazing people. We´ve been exploring around the city and hiking into the mountains (Huancayo is in the Andes at the base of some really cool mountains). Also, we´ve started to teach at the orphanage, and that´s been really fun. The kids are a little rowdy but very good. The biggest problem came when I tried to tutor a boy on his multiplication homework (it´s been a while since I´ve tried to figure out math without a calculator). My computer is locked up safe, so I haven´t yet been able to post pictures, but I´ll post them as soon as I get a chance.

Hope you´re well!

Hi!

I just started this blog for my trip to Peru and Argentina (I leave June 6 and get back December 22). I don't really know how to do this, so it might be a little bit of a learning process. Please keep in touch through email. I'm not sure how often I'll be on a computer to respond, but I'd love to keep up with how everyone is doing!

Love,
Melanie
