Today I decided to take a little trip on my own. I don't feel comfortable with my Spanish yet, but there's only one way to improve it, practice. I've found that it's acutally easier to speak to strangers in Spanish then it is to the people that see my on a more regular basis. Maybe it's just my pride.
So I walked down the street passed the church and took a little walk down the beach. I've never seen so many couples holding hands, and many of the women had roses that the men had purchased them.
I walked around for a couple of hours, ordered some lunch, and checked out some new stores.
It's amazing how tired I get here. Probably because I'm trying to learn a new language, and my little brain just doesn't handle it well. On the bright side, in four days, I can already tell that my vocabulary is expanding. Hopefully, the next time we speak, I'll be able to do more than just speak simple sentences!

Mr. Thomas,
ReplyDeleteFirst, I'm impressed that you are quoting "Made to Stick" already. It looks like you have had quite an introduction to Peru. I like how the wealthy families have multiple level homes. Based on the picture, I don’t think I would trust a 3 story shanty on a windy day. It seems like from your posts that the Peruvian people are pleasant but lack guidance. Think about chapter two in Made to Stick and the commander intent. It’s not about where you are but where you going. Any movement in the right direction is a good one. It seems like there is a lot of ground to cover there, probably best taken one step at a time.
Keep up the posts! I’m loving them!
