Mí vida en Arequipa

My life in Arequipa: Most days are good. It is a lot like college in some ways, 2 classes a day, I walk to my school, I have homework in the afternoon, there´s usually a nap in there somewhere (most of the times accidental), 3 days a week spinning class (if I am not sick), and room and board. The only difference is that I can´t communicate very well right now. That is well.......FRUSTRATING, but fun at times. I am usually making a fool out of myself, which brings joy and laughter to everyone. The mornings and evenings are cool and throughout the day it is quite hot, and this is the winter here!

Here is a picture of me with Volcano Chichani, and Arequipa in the background.

I went horseback riding my first weekend here with some other students and missionaries. It was not quite like my last horseback ride in Tennessee, but I had to make the best of it. My horse didn´t want to go anywhere we were supposed to, but would often take the lead anyways, I think to get the dust out of our faces, and for that I am thankful!
