Will post more later

Okay.. so i have a feeling that the next two weeks my only posts will be to say ¨Í´ll post more later!!¨ but I will! Just very overwhelmed with spanish classes and I don´t really have a convenient means to write a long adventure story with pictures.. I´ve taken tons of pictures and will upload them in about 2 weeks when i have access to wireless internet and can comfortably do my pictures on my on laptop...

real quick though...
i´m with my host family who are nice.. OH.. i have a local cell phone number here and I get free incoming calls.. so email me for the number and call me!!

Otherwise, you´ll have to wait till I SKYPE in a couple weeks... cuz i don´t have access to that either for now....

Alrighty!! I¨ll have bus ride and other adventure stories in the next few weeks....

My first morning

I´m on a shared computer, so I´m not sure how much I´m going to type.. but just wanted to check in with my first morning here!! Met up with Rocy and her family last night. This helped ease about 80% of my anxieties! It was so nice... they took me out to central Lima... saw a bunch of churches, squares, and fountains.. they showed me this cute ´love bridge´... tried some Pisco Sour (the official drink of Lima, hehe)... tried artichukos (sp¿), yukitas, and a bunch of other food.. (some kind of beef heart thing that´s traditional there=...

I´m off to accomplish my goal of the day... Get a SIM card for my cell phone.. then i catch the bus for Trujillo...

I´ll share some pictures at some point.....
