Hi! We have arrived in Peru and I am so excited! On the
first flight, I sat near Sarah Parker. On the second flight, I sat next to
Jamie Cornacchia. On the last flight, I sat next to Raquel and Jamie again. We
had a long drive into Urubamba and stopped to grab some lunch. It was so good!
After that, we drove a little bit more and then arrived in Ollantaytambo, we
are surrounded by beautiful tall mountains. I am staying in the Full Moon
hostel. So far, the trip has been amazing and SO eye opening! The rafting is
definitely a highlight. My host family is so nice, and they have five little
puppies! The project is moving slowly but coming along. The kids at the school are
so nice! We went to Valle Sagrado (sacred valley school) and I sat in on a
religion class. It was so amazing to hear them talk in Spanish about beliefs.
The kids are also so nice here! I gave them my email address. I send my love to
my parents! Can’t wait to see you!

HEY!!!!! It is amazingly beautiful here! I’m having the best
experience! I wish you were here to enjoy it with me. I think you would like
it. I got a poncho made out of alpaca fur!! I love it so much!! The food here is really interesting. At
our host family, they feed us so much. I’m going to be buff when I get back
from working so hard. For the service project we are working on making a soccer
field, and it’s so much work! But, I’ll probably loose all the weight I’m
gaining from my host family’s meals with all the work. My Spanish is getting so
good now. I just wanted to tell you that I’m having a GREAT time!! Can’t wait
to see you!!! Love you!!
