What a weekend

So I came up with the idea to visit a little town Jaujau (the first capital of Peru) this weekend. My 3 roomates, my host brother and 2 other girls decided they wanted to go too. I went to sleep friday night super excited about the trip. Of course 6am saturday morning I wake up feeling sicker than I have in a very long time. Now before you feel too bad for me I have to admit it was entirely my fault. The night before Nia, Nili and I went out for dinner. On the way back I saw a lady selling churros on the street. Of course my first instinct was to stay away but I reaaaaaallly wanted one. Considering my friends all buy fruit juice from the street I figured i´d be okay. Well obviously I was very wrong. I ended up going to Jaujua anyway, feeling very sick, coming home, and spending the next 12 hours in bed. The good news, now I am fine.

SO my after Huancayo plans are looking pretty cool. The group of travellers will me Nia, Nili, possibly Harry, a girl named Pepe from london, and a girl named Naomi from Australia. Should be good times. We will be leaving Hauncayo on the 29th and then heading north to Trujillo. The plan is to hit huaraz, ica, pisco, nasca, ariquipa, cusco and the Puno before heading over to Bolivia or Chile. We shall see.

Oh ya, tomorrow there is supposed to be a huge strike in all of Peru. No buses, taxis, cars, etc. We have been advised to stay home. Some of the girls want to go to see the strike. After experiencing one in Ecuador I must say, in the words of my mommy, ¨thank you, but no thank you.¨ I will be cozy in my bed sleeping in.


PEACE out
