Host Family

I live in a place called Haucaurpay (not sure if its spelled right). It is about a 30 min bus ride to where classes are held. I live with another student Cornine for Goshen College who helps me a lot with the language barrier. Its a  lot colder up in the mountains and gets down to 60 degrees or cooler. Im really close to two of my host sisters Hilda and Juana. They are very patient and help a lot with the tradition to Peru living. We play games like yatzee and dutch blitz which is a lot of fun. I did my wash this morning and when i was getting down from where the washer was i bumped my head on the ceiling, oh course everyone laughed at me. We take lots of walks throughout the town and go to a big lake near by. This weekend Juana is going to take us to Cuzco to some makets and show us the clinic where she works. Shes a nurse and Im glade to be able to lean new things from here. Sunday we are going to play soccer which im excited for. It hard to breathe from the altitude so that will be intersting. i´m still healthy but miss home sometimes but overall just love having this new experience living in a different country.
