I was the only one who decided to go to work this morning, with German Caroline's and Hunter's terrible bus ride experience, and U.S. Caroline still being sick (since she volunteers at a hospital it isn't the best idea to go to work sick). So I got ready and ate breakfast by myself trying to not wake up anyone else.
I was really busy at the kindergarten which was good, I think I'm starting to find my place! But the language barrier is making it pretty hard to get to know the teachers well, my Spanish is still pretty bad.
Corali the little monkey climbing all over me! Aww :)
Guiliana found my sunglasses
Edceline (isn't that the prettiest name) and Ariana photobombing :)
After the lunch me and German Caroline went out to the mall and a zoo in the University across the street
And Caroline
At the mall! My face is so sun burnt from Lake Titicaca it's as red as the sign behind me! To bad it's so cold that's the only part of me that's going to be at all tan, the rest being shocking white from having been covered up the whole time!
At the zoo! Me and a deer we dubbed Bambi who followed us around the whole time!
A condor, which was cool to see as it is an extremely important animal in the Incan culture, having been thought to be the messengers to the gods. The Incan culture has three really important animals, the condor, the puma, and the snake. The snake represents the underworld like it does in most cultures.
The Zoo's Puma, they're literally the most terrifying animals! In traditional Inca culture the Puma is the lord of the earth, a sacred creature.
And the most awesome talking parrot ever! He could say Hola so well me and Caroline thought it was a child for the longest time! And he could whistle, imitate our laughs, and say Aurrora! It was crazy!
In the evening me and German Caroline decided that we had eaten too much carbs, rice/potatoes/bread/so much bread! It was time for something fresh, so we decided to go to the supermarket and buy every fruit we didn't know. This was the result
We also bought a jar of Nutella and made it a fondue night, just in case any of the fruit were too terrible to eat by themselves! Thank god we did!
We had papaya, pineapple, plantain, passion fruit, granadia, some orange berries, some weird lemony thing, that I was not expecting to be so sour!, a fruit that tasted like a clean bathroom, star fruit which was sooo sour, a fruit that tasted like apple but with a cardboardy texture, and cactus fruit! Phew that was a lot of fruit, but I didn't like any of it really it didn't even look like we'd eaten anything when we finished!
