we’ll start with the good...
i came back to Catache the other day. i was in Lima for about a week - attending the english teaching seminar with professor guido. we got so much out of the classes! they lasted 3 days, and they were jam-packed with information on different english teaching strategies. we came up with a plan to implement when the school year starts back up, and both of us are excited for the changes to begin!
one of the nights, we had dinner at the home of the director of the university that hosted the seminars. she was the hostess with the mostess - INDEED! her home was beautiful! there were servers clad in tuxes bringing us pisco sours and the best guacamole on the planet! and the dinner was probably the best food i’ve had in peru!
after our last day of charlas, the university got a “Mirabus” for all of us, and we got a tour of all of Lima and Miraflores while sitting on the roof of the bus! we ended the tour at a water park, where there were grand fountains of water, and a light show that danced to the music of Peru - so breathtaking!
as for the bad news - i came home, excited to see my little gatito. but, my family has started some sort of construction on the roof where my kitty had made his home. and mi gatito was nowhere to be found! i can only hope that he is okay.
the other half of the bad news happened this morning. i FELL on my morning run today… right onto my left knee. i was all the way to where i normally turn around (in Munana) when i fell, so i had to limp all of the way back to Catache on my bad knee. no moto-taxis, buses, or people in sight! i called the peace corps doctor when i finally got back to my house, and she told me to go to our centro de salud (health post). there, the doctor cleaned up my knee and examined it. he stays i should be fine, but its really swollen and HURTS!!! but, i am following-up with the “real” doctor in Chiclayo on friday, so i’ll keep you all posted.
i guess that’s about it for now - will write more soon!
