huancayo at last

Arrived Saturday after a 7 hour bus trip. Comfier than the planes. Even had a hostess to serve us lunch. Our host family are lovely and the mother speaks as much english as we do spanish but we get by. Went to the markets with her yesterday and yes we did see guinea pigs flies and all. Her name is Gladys and has two daughters Paula and Betsy. Peruvian food is fantastic and we are bringing Gladys back with us. Spent the morning at a kindergarten in a very poor area of town. We are not going to be working at the hospital ñow. Our programme is Kindy in the morning, Spanish lessons until lunch time, home for another Gladys cooked meal then we teach english in the afternoon. On the weekend we are going to a hospital out of town. One Doctor for three thousand people and we are going to give him our donations from the hospital. We have given a lot of the donations to the organisation to use where they see fit. This morning the children at the kindy were given the pencil cases from the convent and some lollies. They were so excited. The orphanage recieved the socks,hats etc and some lingerie Chris had bought in Buenos Aires we had forgotten to take out of the suitcase.
