Here's the wrap up
- the morning was same as usual helping the kids with their homework. I worked with Lucy who wanted some help with her English so I took to one of my favorite teaching methods - cutting out words and getting the student/s to rearrange them into a grammatically correct sentence. I focused on the sentence structure I am, you are, they are, we are, you all are...etc, cause it's very similar to the verb estar in spanish so therefore easy to compare the two languages. Lucy lapped it up which was rewarding to see.
- At lunch time we went to the markets in preparation for the BBQ we had today at the school. When waiting at the butcher for some burger mince I couldn't help but feel a little sad for the Guinea pigs sitting quietly in a great big woven bag ready to meet their maker. I'm yet to try this Peruvian delicacy.
- In the afternoon we started filming our Nutrition video, recording the kids singing a specially crafted song that emphasises the importance of eating a variety of food. They sounded FANTASTIC. This footage along with pictures of the kids holding various signs should be enough for me to put it all together.
- Last night after Spanish Class we went for a Chuchuhuasi a famous alcoholic drink in Peru that is meant to have many medicinal benefits but I'm thinking it's the alcohol content and the fact that it's reasonably cheap that makes it so popular. It kind of reminded me of mulled wine but with a lot more lime and herbs.
- After our Chuchuhuasi we felt in the mood to keep kicking on and went to a bar in 'Gringo square' ie a whole bunch of bars, restaurants that Gringos tend to hang out in. I was keen to see how my Swannies were going in the AFL grand final so while salsa dancing and chatting to the locals at the bar about AFL, I kept checking the score. To my delight we won!!!!!! Woohoo. Cheer cheer the red and the white.
Ciao
