Los Informes: N° 8 - Abril

How is your daily life with your host family?

As it has progressed throughout the year. It's fine and there are no communication problems, thanks be to God. I love my host family. It's also clear at this point that there will be no change in host families (the Arequipa kids have changed around 3-4 times), while us Tacneños have yet to change even once. I'm quite fine with this; my host family is great, we live conveniently close to both my Cooking classes and Portuguese classes.

How is school?

My classes are going well; my cooking class is very helpful; I joke that when I leave Peru, I'll be bringing the best with me :) Also, my Portuguese classes are going well. I can communicate in it muito melhor do que French.

Problems?

At 5:00 AM this morning there was an earthquake of magnitude around 7. No one was killed and the damage was very, very minor (just some sections of wall in a few old houses), as well as some power problems and the like. 5 people in hospital). During the month of April itself I did come down with Gastroenteritis (the second time I've been sick) but that has been my only other malady I've had.

What's up with your Rotary Club?

It's fine. I went to the Rotary conference in April with the other exchangers in Arequipa. I've attached some photos of those events.

Other:

I will be departing Peru on August 1st, and arriving August 2nd.
 Mmm, qué rico.
 Ceviche de langostinas.
