This weekend has been quite eventful as I have switched houses (with a new family now). I'm now staying with Gabriella in a larger house with more people in it. This is because Sarah (my old roommate) is leaving soon, so they asked if I'd like to move somewhere else so I wouldn't be alone for 2 weeks. I'm also closer to my placement and with some of my other buddies.
On Saturday, Gabriella gave us a classic Peruvian BBQ experience! It was so delicious-- we had three different types of meat, a few types of potatoes and lots of other random Peruvian dishes. :)
We also went to some cool dance clubs and experienced Peruvian night life. It was loud and very busy. We ended up leaving pretty early because all of us were tired from a busy week. (The bars here stay open till 5am-- it's ridiculous! They never stop!)
Today we went to the mall, which was odd because it felt like we were in America. (Lots of brand name stores and restaurants). There was a huge supermarket and I bought a few fresh mangoes. They were juicy and so sweet-- best mangoes I've ever had.
So now I've been here for a whole week and it feels like much longer than that! Everything has been great so far! Can't wait to tell you more later!
Love from,
Mel
Wow... your first week sounded great! So a new place? What's the house like and who else lives there? Were your other hosts sad to see you both go?
