I understand mom and dad, that you want me to post on my blog, but I also need to know what you want me to post! The best way would be to comment on my posts with questions I can answer for you!! I'd love to tell anyone anything, but I can't just say ever detail of my days! Also, if you want pictures of specific things, you have to tell me! In Lima, I'm already a gringa, or white person, and taking my camera out and clicking everything is not a good way to fit in!! I want to keep you informed, but if I answer everything I think you might want to know, I'd be writing essays, not blog posts!
Love you all

I'm living in Lima, Peru for a whole year with Rotary Youth Exchange! This trip will totally change my life and I want to be able to share my experience with the world. My goal is to spread acceptance and awareness of the world and it's people with everyone.

Observations anyone?
I think that the way I saw Lima in my head before was a bustling metropolis with chic shops and diverse people. Now, some parts of Lima are like that, but in Salamanca, most people have dark hair, dark eyes, and darker skin! I stand out like a sore thumb here! I get so many stares and looks! It's uncomfortable sometimes, and sometimes the guys will whistle or say "Hello Baby." I've learned quickly to just ignore it. Lima is just so much different then the small town I come from! It's way more dirty then I thought and the homes are tiny! I love the city despite it's flaws! The fact that you can buy bottled water for 1 sol, like 30 cents, is awesome! The market filled with fresh fruit is my favorite though! Oranges are so cheap here tha in order to spend a dollar, you have to buy a huge bag! It's great!

Day after tomorrow!
I leave for Peru on Wednesday, the day after tomorrow. Tengo emocionado y meido, pero pienso me puedo a. That was totally horrible Spanish, but I tried. I've said my goodbyes to most everyone, but I still feel sad. My body had revolted against me with stomach pains and acne! Whoopee!! I need to pack still... oh well!

Lo siento
I know it's been a long time! I apologize for that! My school year is coming to an end, and if I'm lucky, I'll end the year with all As!! Just 5 more days until my last day of school here until after I come back! I finally got my date back for the flight! July 27, 68 days away! I feel so incredibly unprepared and scared! Hopefully once school is out I can work more with my tutor to help me catch up. So little days and so much afraidness to fit it!
