Today was pretty low key in comparison to the past week we've had. But Monica's low key is an average person's high key. Our classes at El Sol went by fairly quickly. We reviewed when to use oraciones relativos and how to form the appropriate sentences. In our culture class, we talked about the various ceramic pieces from the ancient civilization, Chavín. For lunch, we had the usual peruvian dish "papa a la huacaina" (potatoes and yellow sauce) and chicken con pollo. I use to consider potatoes to be my favorite food but after living in Lima for one week, I'm not sure if my unconditional love for them still stands.
After school, we went to the city's Air Force academy to meet our students. As our bus pulled through the base's gate, a line of children were waiting to meet us. They showed us into a room where we were fed traditional peruvian snacks (or "esnacks", as many people here say) and given gifts. The students then performed a series of songs and dances. I think its safe to say that I now know what it must feel like to a be a member of the royal family. After the festivities, we split up into different classrooms to give presentations about life in the states. Our group's topic was national parks. We had about 20 minutes to prepare and no wifi, so our presentation was a little dissapointing. But tomorrow is a new day! #redemption
