I finally got to see the peak of the volcano I live next to! See the pics!
We went to a gold mine for a class trip last week. This was definitely NOT a tourist gold mine. It was sketchy, but we had fun. I felt sorry for India because she had to walk in back of me in the tunnel - and I had beans for breakfast.
My friend Oscar turned 40 last week so his wife organized a surprise party for him. Birthday parties here are a little different than in the states. After the usual cake and singing, there are hours of singing while sitting in a big circle ( I did my rendition of Hey Jude ). Then there is dancing and dancing. I think my favorite part was when I walk into the kitchen and saw the piles of American food - real meat! Not the chewy, nasty, uncuttable slabs of… I don't know. I miss a good piece of meat.
