Solamente un Pensamiento

My dad and uncle came to visit me last week. I think they enjoyed themselves. Moy host mom here took the three of us on a tour around the Cusco area (very pretty!) Most of the stuff, no all of the stuff i had already seen, but i did not mind at all seeing it again. They also went with us to Occoruro for our work. I think my dad had seen something that he has never experienced before. I'm not sure what my uncle thought, I only hope he made some reflections as well. The four of us went to Machu Piccuh on saturday onto sunday, and it was amazing. Everyday i fall in Love with the incans more and more. They built this city between two mountains, 8000 feet above sea level to be close to Apus, the god of the montaƱas. Pachamama is everywhere, from the miraposas to the pikaflores to the ruinas... and so much more. No picture in this world does the beauty of this place justice. When the group hikes the incan trail in a few weeks (3?!?!?!) I will talk about so much more. This is just a preview of the amazing stories i will have to come :-)

The best picture i have. Nothing can compare to seeing it

My Daddy!

This week was busy with tests, papers, our internship starting, my internet at my house failing, and oh yeah back home my back up room mate bailed on me, so i have to find a new one of those. YAY!

More on the internship later. Andy and i have the same one and.... There is alot to say about it

Andy, myself, Corey, Jennie, Kelsey, Karyn, and Caitlin are leaving in t-5 1/2 hours for our SPRING BREAK in Arequipa. We will be spending 2-3 days in the city then going to the BEACCCCCCCCHHHHHHHH. My only goals for this vacation is to speak as much spanish as possible and read "The Open Veins of Latin America" I'm 28 pages into it and hooked.

No i want to leave you with only an observation that i have made many times here. I'm still just thinking about, no conclusions or theories or none, only a though.

In my neighborhood, the water turns off at about 8 at night, so i normally fill up a glass of water in the morning and use it at night for washing my face and brushing my teeth. The observation: When i have a full glass, i use the full glass. When the glass is half full i use the half of it. When the glass has 1/8th, i use the 1/8th. I'm running low on shampoo. I'm using less than before. It still works just as well.

Hum.
