Alix Bowman in Peru

there are two interns here who are 19. one of them is from nottingham england and the other is from scotland. they are so cute and are helping me a lot with my spanish. the boys are so cute and i adapted really well to the culture by sunday. i would stay here a lot longer!

we went dune buggying on saturday, and it was very roller coastery. we also sandboarded, and i cut up my arm, but it was well worth it.

the boys in kawai were not as outgoing as the boys in lima, and i think we are going to see the lima boys again on saturday before we leave for houston. we traveled all day monday to get to caraz, which is where i am right now and we will be here until friday night.

we had our first vbs and work day yesterday, and there were little girls there and the school as well. two little girls, leidy and julia, clung by my side nonstop. they were so cute and i got lots of pictures with them. today we went to a glacial lake and went hiking, which was absolutely gorgeous. i didnt get to enjoy the hiking part as much though there were no bathrooms :) but i got lots of pictures. tomorrow and friday we will go to the same school and hang out with the kids.

i started making bricks with katie out of mud, because they use those to build the school. it was really fun and i got really dirty. we are going to travel on the bus all night on friday night to get back to lima, and i hope we are going to see the boys there again. one little boy who was about thirteen thought i was his novia, which is spanish for girlfriend. ha ha ...he was cute too.

well that about covers it!
love alix
