Done and waiting for Mom and Jimmy!

Well I havent blogged in a while, this last week hasnt been too interesting. I finished up classes!! Yay. I had to write a final paper which took up Monday and Tuesday, then we studied all day Wednesday for our test that was yesterday. It was hard, a lot harder than the first test! But regardless, I am glad to be done, and our professor gives us a break when she grades :). Yesterday after the test, a small group of us went to the human body exhibit, which they have some places in the US. It is like real human bodies that are stripped down to the muscles and are on display, and they have like real brains, livers, splines, kidneys, etc. Then they had bodies stripped down to the veins, and then lungs and hearts and all that, and the nervous system. It was quite interesting. All the bodies were of Asians, you could still tell on their faces, and they were all men. They even still had fingernails on them, and some you could see their hair! Yesterday was my friend Andrea´s birthday, so we went to her apartment and had Papa Johns and cake! Yes, they have Papa Johns here, and yes, it was delicious! I also had KFC for lunch yesterday and today, I am bad! I miss going to subway for lunch! They dont have any sub places here!!!! Those are my favorite lunch places. Oh well!

So now that brings me to today, waiting for Mom and Jimmy to get here! They are in Miami right now! I am so excited! Everyone else here is leaving on Sunday, I am so anxious to get home but at least now they will be here so it will be lots of fun!

I guess I could blog about some of the food I ate this week. I had my favorite dish yet! It was called locro de zapallo, which translates to something like pumpkin stew. But its not really a stew, it was a yellow sauce sauce with choclo (corn) and potatoes and peas, and pumpkin, with rice, and I loved it! I got the recipe, but I doubt it would taste the same if I made it :(

We also had some sort of chinese chicken that was chicken in a sweet sauce with pineapple and peppers and some kind of Peruvian vegetables, Pilar made it. She always says that she doesnt have recipes, she just mixes random stuff. But it was good! Not as good as the locro though :)

Okay well I guess thats about it, I am going to be busy the next few days showing them around Lima!!!!
