So I am now in ayacucho and have been here since 2 mornings ago???? (these days have all run together and I´m not sure if I´ve been here a day or a month). I got in around 7 in the morning after a 10 hr bus ride that actually wasn´t too bad b/c busses here are actually really nice. Once I got in I got settled in the volunteer house and got to know some of the volunteers (all french except one girl from England and another from Lima). I then just hung out for a while until 12:00 when I got to go with Maria Gracia (the one from Peru who will actually be studying in Wisconsin next year and speaks English fluently) to go pick up some of the younger kids. I then ate lunch and spent the rest of the day playing with the kids. After we put the kids to bed at 7:00 we came back to the volunteer house where people switch off cooking and so we had some noodles with vegetables that two of the French girls cooked up. Needless to say I was dead tired and so I went to bed.
The next day I didn´t have to work until one so I spent the morning resting and getting to know the other volunteers better until I went to work at 1:00 playing with the kids all day again. After work it was Maria Gracia and my turn to cook...so we went to the nearest restaraunt and picked up food for everyone haha... and again was tired so went to bed.
Today I worked with the older kids (by older it means about 9-13 because the kids are all farely young here) and so I had to wake them up a 6:00, help them get ready, and then played with them/did homework until one when I went back to the house, took a shower, and came here to get on the internet...oh yeah in case you haven´t realized by now there is an internet cafe that I can use and so I´m going to try to update my blog a couple of times a week since we have a lot of down time.
Chao for now,
Brandon
P.S. here are pictures of the front of the Casa where the kids are and the view to the left and from behind
