I have been keeping busy as I am getting used to my routine. I have class Mondays and Wednesdays from 4-6pm and 6-9pm and Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9-10:30am. And NOTHING on Fridays which is so nice, also it'll be handy when I want to travel and can leave after my class Thursday and not have to return until Monday morning.
Classes are going well, my poli sci class is probably the hardest just because (obviously) it is in Spanish and the readings are so dense to begin with that sometimes it takes a while to wade through it all. I am really enjoying my anthropology class, the professor is great and very lively which makes the 3 hours pass relatively painlessly.
I have really enjoyed getting to meet my host family. In the house it is just my host mom Anita and I, and her older brother also lives in the house but I don't see much of him, he leaves early in the morning and comes home late. But, Anita and I eat most of our meals together and she's always got funny stories and things to share. Also she has four grown kids. Her oldest son lives in La Paz, Bolivia and the next oldest son lives in Lima and has two daughters. Then, about 10 years later she had two more, her third son lives in the jungle now (although when I say jungle I just mean regionally, not actually IN the jungle) and works in tourism. Then her fourth is her daughter who also lives in Lima, about 20 mins from us. The younger two kids are a bit older than me, I think the daughter is late 20s but she loves to dance, I think we will go out dancing some night...
Which brings me to my next point! I had my first salsa class and it was SPICY!! I had a blast, I can't wait to go back, it's so much fun and great exercise too! There are some great salsa clubs around that I would love to hit up once I feel ready to reveal my salsa side to the world...
I think that is all for now!
