It's a full house

It's a full house at the volunteer apartment at the moment, which is great. We have two visitors who are here just for a few days one from Lima one from Montreal, Canada. An American couple arrived a couple of days ago, after taking two overnight buses from Ecuador. They must have been knackered, not to mention a little dizzy from the altitude here. There is also a primary teaching graduate from Belgium who arrived about a week ago another american guy, the founder of Seeds Yuri (Peruvian), Madie the volunteer coordinator (Canadian) and me.

The last couple of nights have been great fun, cooking dinner together, eating, drinking and meeting other mutual friends. It's interesting to listen to the chorus of different languages - french, english and spanish. Me I've taken to speaking Spanglish while my Spanish gets a little better bit by bit (poco, poco).

Last night was great fun. We started out at our place then went out for Chuchuguasi or Chuchuasi there's a few different ways to spell it. This is the "medicinal" drink that is very popular in Peru. I say medicinal loosely because it's just a cheap drink that has a lot of alcohol in it. While standing around chatting Willy one of the other volunteers who went to Seeds himself offered to cook me some guniea pig. I graciously declined. Afterwards we had dinner and then kept kicking on at the discoteca where we carved up the dance floor. Must admit I'm a little on the tired side today but it was well worth it.
