I just said my good byes to my host cousins, which seems like it wouldn't be a problem, but they seemed like brother and sister to me too! The families here are very close, so I also was close to my aunt, uncle and cousins. We went with them to Mancora and this last time to Pucallpa.
Speaking of Pucallpa, I wanted to explain a bit about our family trip to Pucallpa for Father's Day. My host abuelo paid for my plane ticket so that all his grandkids could be there. I absolutely LOVE Pucallpa and it was such a calm, easy trip. We flew up on a Friday night with my cousins (Luz and Mariano) and my brothers (Paulo and Bruno.) I found out that it's kind of stressful flying with kids, even if they are responsible. We met up with some other cousins that live in Pucallpa that night for roast chicken.

We spent our next 2 days in Pucallpa hanging out at the chakra of my abuelo. We swam, played ping pong, and played with the puppies. We visited my mama's parents too. Her dad lives with his newer wife and their 14 and 17 year old daughters and her mom lives with her great-granddaughter. It's a pretty interesting family!
