WatchThe drums that I was talking about at Club Play
My third week
This is my third week here and I have been experiencing so many new things, I don’t know how it is possible to fit it all into my blog! I’ll start with what I did this past weekend, a couple of my UNK friends and two of my friend’s host siblings and I went to two discotecas (dance clubs) on Saturday. The clubs were in Punta Hermosa, which is a beach about 30 min from Lima. The...
My first time to El Centro in Lima

I was so frustrated because I haven’t really been able to take...

The walk to...
First day in Peru
After arriving at the airport last night at 11pm, I had to go through what was almost two hours of customs until I finally met up with my family. I have a host mom- Carolina, sister- Claudi, and brother- Diego, all in which are very welcoming! Diego is 19 and Claudi is 22, so it is nice to have siblings my age show me around, especially since they both go to the same university as me! Everything...
Sitting at the airport...
Just sitting at the airport waiting for my connecting flight to Miami! I got to fly over the Washington monument, Jefferson monument, and Lincoln monument in Washington D.C., which was pretty cool! I’m really looking forward to meeting my family and to arrive in Lima!
