y me encanta mucho!
i apologize for improper grammar and misspellings. its a new keyboard, give me time. i arrived safely, american airlines had a broken plane once we stopped in dallas (just like in rome!) so i was delayed there for about 1.5 hours. i made it to miami in time, but then realized i had to go back through security! thats ok right? its a latin american country and they´re always late...no, when i got to the gate ten mins before the boardin time on my ticket, it was almost all done! what is this! i wanst able to call home which really sucked but i called the next morning and it was good.
i got home around 1 in the morning with the rest of my community. there are 5 of us!
lore-argentinain..speaks super fast...but has learned to slow down for me. she loves maroon 5 even though she has no idea what the lyrics are. shes the musician...i think i´m becoming the singer...who´d a thunk!
edgardo aka chipo-also argentinian that speaks fast but slows down for me. always with matte...which is my new fave form of caffeine...me gusta mucho!
seve-french permanent member of hearts home. she is currently on her way to spain for world youth day with a group of friends of hearts home from here. knows english! its been nice to have her help
florencia aka flosh aka flo-also french super helpful and knows some english too! she makes sure to keep me in the loop when i am lost!
whenever we go anywhere, we take a bus....but bus drivers here are crazy and its scary at times. i like it when its not crowded. when it is crowded, it stinks...literally, everyone is dressed warm and then everyone is giving off body heat...gross.
the last two days i have been going to the city with others for whatever reason. i´ve learned, shopping is def not my thing. i dont have the patience to even really accompany when we go shopping in el centro. but i love the market! its exactly like the movies.
i feel super spoiled right now...the popular soda here...tastes like bubblegum soda! the food is awesome, everyone is patient with me. the only down side is i sometimes forget i´m very gringa and much desired here. catcalls are plenty along with the stares...i kinda want to dye my hair...
my spanish is coming along quite well in only 2 days. i THINK i understand most of it, who knows! i still have issues forming my own sentences...its kinda like stage fright...
my address is different than in my first letter. that is the physical location of the house but the mail isnt super reliable...send letters to here:
Kari Stender
Puntos Corazon
APDO Postal 4607
Lima 100
Peru
there is so much more i could write but i´m a little hungry and want to go eat...love you all!
