Cusquena Negra

Short post tonight, but Jerry asked if I had written anything so I figured I should keep up with it.

Long class today. Lots of notes and exercises and group work. A lot of things are similar to my Spanish Ed classes so it's nice to have some background knowledge.

After class a group of us were going to hike up a mountain we call "Viva" (i'll post a picture so you can see why). But, when we walked outside, storm clouds were coming in from all directions and it started to rain so we checked out a market and decided to just grab a few beers. SO, i had my first Peruvian beer! Everyone was ordering "cusquena", the local beer, so I jumped on board. We got the dark beer, "cusquena negra", and it was delicious. It was nice getting to know some of the people in class too. We're pretty much all in the same boat: graduated college within the past couple of years, aren't quite sure what we want to do OR eventually want to teach, and love traveling. Finally a little before 7 I walked home with my housemate for dinner and to do some homework.

Early to bed again tonight, early to rise again tomorrow...i'm kind of getting used to it! Hoping that we'll be able to go on that hike tomorrow.

This is the mountain

You can make out the words a little better here
Buenas noches!
