Yesterday we went to a festival. All 9 of us (5 members of the host family and us 4 girls) packed into one taxi. I sat essentially in the trunk with 2 other girls. Quite honestly I thought I was going to drive most of the way from a combination of terrible driving and terrible road conditions. I expected the fesitval to be relatively small but it was actually huge. The festival was in honor of the ¨virgin of Cocharca.¨ According to the tale the virgin mary appeared in this city at some point in time. People from all over Peru were there and there were around 10 different groups dressed in traditional costumes and doing traditional dances. It was really funny to see a group of girls dressed in the exact peruvian costume I had when I was little.
Today has been un poco loco. Had a bit of an argument with the program director. All is well now though. The major problem was with my friend and I spent a good hour defending her. I have changed my schedule around a bit and don´t have anything until 830 tomorrow morning. I am super excited about this. Tomorrow I must call my mommy´s friends friends daughter. Hopefully we can meet up and I can work on my spanish some more.
