Day Dos (Two) of Kindergarten


Today the kids were worse than yesterday. They found, and used, some brick chunks on me. It didn´t hurt and they were definitely holding back because they only hit my legs. I took the bricks from the kids and threw them in the corner outside. They then got a broom and hit me with it. The term "No le peges" came in handy today. But we did get a chance to teach them about our lives and they got a chance to learn where Peru was. At least I think they learned where Peru was because they colored it in...along with everything else on the paper. There´s not a lot for me to do there so I might jump around to some of the other spots with other volunteers.

After the school, we explored the Wari ruins and the site of the Battle of Ayacucho. The monument has a viewing platform of sorts so Wyatt and I went up-it cost one sole each. Wyatt and Mom went horseback riding while I stayed at the viewing platform. Going up the stairs there will seriously kill you because the altitude is over 10,000 feet up. That is 1,000 feet higher than Ayacucho, and of course, much higher than sea level where Florida is. Then it started pouring on us which made us all soaked and was not exactly fun. Well that´s all folks. Goodbye or as they say in Peru "¡Adios!"
