Made it.

Hi to all!!I have made it to Peru !! Successfully!! Without getting mugged, lost, denied access to any countries, without missing any flights or losing my passport. So far so good.

This past weekend in Miami warmed me up to the Spanish language again, listening to everyone around speaking in accents from Puerto Rico , Cuba , Brazil or elsewhere. Now I find myself in the real deal. South America . My Spanish is good enough to help my new housemate fix her phone and chat with the store owners...but not good enough to explain to a man in Miami Airport what a ¨Bailout¨ was. Don't know if my English is that advanced either.

But I wonder why all the coffee here is that instant stuff. I mean, wouldn't you think they would have really fresh beans or something? I drove past all the coffee plantations but they make more money exporting it...I have been drinking tea anyways. It is called Mate de Coca and it is supposed to help with the high altitude sickness (soroche).

Tomorrow I start class at 9am. They will teach me how to be a teacher. And I hope I have a good teacher to teach me how to teach. They tell me it's lots of work.I'll be getting a good night's sleep tonight, since last night's flight took away all but an hour of my beauty rest!


I'm doing great. Hope everyone is well,


Keep me posted on life in the states,


Love,


Jamie
