pics

I am putting pics up now.. and John was the only one who commented on my last post so did everyone else lose interest? last night was a busy night, after the blog we had a group meeting then we went to watch Andean dances, which were pretty cool. Then 4 of us got massages, they were amazing because we were sore after the hike. it was 35 soles for half an hour which is like 12 dollars, not a bad deal haha. We ate at mcdonalds before the massage because we didnt really have much time, hahaa. I was upset though because they didnt have any sweet and sour sauce.. oh well. After the massage we met up with a bunch of the other girls who went to a salsa bar. I really want to learn how to salsa. A lot of the girls went out and the guys there taught them kind of .. but i was too scared. I am going to get my host mom to teach me. Carlos said she is a ¨modern woman¨and he laughed while he said it.. so I think she should know how to salsa! This morning we went to a jewelry factory which has won all these awards for the best in Peru.. so that was cool and then I bought a ring from there! Then we went to the post office and I mailed my hiking stuff home.. they said it will take 20 something days so I might beat it home but I wanted to get rid of it because I have no use for it anymore. On the way to the post office a dog started following us and it was so sweet and playful and we kept buying it food and feeding it so it followed us for like 30 minutes and we named him chico. After that we went and ate at Jacks (the place with the amazing french toast) but I got juevos rancheros which were delicious and it was a tortilla with beans and sauce and cheese and eggs. Yum. Then we walked around a bunch of stores now we came here! Tomorrow we leave for the airport early to go back to Lima, then we meet our families! I cant wait. but then class starts on Monday. blah. I will probably get online this weekend! Hope you enjoy the pics, here is the link again

  4. 12 dollars for a massage... must be nice!!! Was that a lama in the pictures haha funny looking animal. Great pics that must have been awesome hiking through there. We had a dog follow us too on the golf course the other day for two holes because we fed it haha. No sweet and sour sauce is unacceptable, i bet it isn't 12 dollars for a combo meal like Switzerland.

  5. Oh yeah funny story. I was playing golf with Ryan, Allen, and Travis and saw Angie and the twins at one of the houses on the golf course outside in the yard. The hole was downhill and you couldn't see the green from the tee box. We finished the hole and were on the next tee box and the group behind us yelled "FOUR", which you yell if your ball is headed towards another person. We all ducked and covered our heads and then looked around confused... One of the twins was on the green trying to take one of the golf balls that they had hit hahaha too funny.
