Classes continued to be intense - 5 hours a day so that I could make up for missing a few hours. I think this was too much and I reached a saturation point where I don´t think I was learning as much. I was sad to leave the school (CEICA) and even sadder about leaving my family. I enjoyed a few evenings out the last couple of days and despite much effort, never got to hear live Peruvian folkloric music. We did see a couple of other ...

... main Plaza, it´s very pretty and well looked after. There is a huge and very impressive catherdral along the north side of the plaza which looks even bigger on the inside. We had a sandwich and drink on one of the many balcony cafes that overlook the plaza, absolutely fabulous!!!!<br><br>We went back to the hotel for an afternoon nap, mainly to recover from last night´s bus journey, then in the evening we went out ...

... and Collagua peoples use &#8216;medicinally&#8217;. A small amount of the plant helps them to sleep but a larger amount induces hallucinations during which the user appears to go mad. But the next morning when the druggie awakens, they feel as if their soul has been cleansed. Apparently, they do this 3 or 4 times a year. Pepe seems so enthusiastic about this drug that I feel he is going to offer it to us at any moment. I am ready to tell him that if my soul needs cleansing I would ...

... opportunity for Jim and Gloria and the rest of the staff to meet with people about personal issues.<br><br>As I sat there listening, I wondered how much people actually got out of the meeting, as there was a constant murmur throughout the audience and kids were running around (really more than just a murmur &#8211; I&#8217;m sure anyone that was in the back that was actually trying to listen could not hear). I was told that this was actually a huge improvement from ...

... thread through the holes in the cards. It is a slow and arduous process, but it gives them something to do during the day and allows them to make some money. <br><br>The reason we went to speak to these kids on this day was because their padrino wants to build them their own house, giving them each their own room and an inside bathroom. He also wants to keep the kids away, as much as possible, from any of the mother's boyfriends. The kids ...

... for dinner. The centre of the city was lit up beautifully in the dark with lots of arches all around the main plaza. For dinner we ate some traditional fare - alpaca, trout, alpaca stew and guinea pig!!! (The guinea pig tasted kind of like turkey - but it was a whole guinea pig which we weren't expecting and we were all a bit aghast not knowing what to do with it!). Then after dinner we went out ...

... m glad I did as the scene was better, danced with some local girls, bar hopped a bit, found one serving up 1L pints and a Latin rock band that was quite good despite not understanding what they were saying.<br><br> The next day sleep in and lazily wander the tourist shops and plaza square. One goal is to buy some warm clothes for the Colca Canyon trek and basically the rest of my stops ...

... with our clothes on. then woke up the next day to see we were in the most gorgeous old colonial mansion house with a view of beautiful mountains and volcanoes out of our veranda doors and beautiful sunshine and a really friendly hostel with Friends and Cheers on TV and lovely fresh bread and juice for breakfast and........ hurray hot showers!

... longterm, including a guy from Colorado teaching english, an artisian from Chile, and a man who appeared to be drunk all the time from Cusco. It was interesting put it that way. <br>The first thing that stuck us by this town , which turns out to be true of most of the country, is the presence of Chinese restaurants, more than pizza and pasta surprisingly, serving the not so original dish of Chifa, which basically is just another world for fried rice with a little bit of ...
