GibsonGirlPerusingPeru: Lima day 1

Hello friends! So I did write this REALLY amazing blog today BUT being iPad illiterate I accidently delted the whole thing. There is nothing more frustrating. So instead of giving you a not so good one out of frustration, I shall give you the run down of today.
Met Nico and Pancho, Nico being the human and Pancho his companion, who both work at the House Project, the hostel where we are staying. Nico gave us a rundown of his garden and composting projects after we had a lovely breakfast of eggs, oatmeal and rolls with jam and honey. After that, Rosi, Tete and Jaclyn (the leaders of this expedition), Nico, Pancho and I along with Margaret and Emily who are also stewards, went down to the shore for icbreakers and role playing situations. These included WHAT NOT TO DO if you are a vegetarian and your host parents give you meat.
After that we did lunch, a small tour of the Mila Flores where we are staying, slack lining, and a bit of relaxing. We also visited the beach where rocks were collected and sand was crushed. For dinner, we enjoyed a communal meal of avacado, tomatoes, baguettes, spinach pasta and lime. We talked why we decided to do MESA as well as our basic life philosophies. Nico is already convincing me to do permaculture eventually at the family farm. I smile at all of this because I have never felt more at home away from home than this little tribe.
Once finished with dinner, we did a tour of old Lima with beautiful buildings and beautiful people. All in all, soy MUY contento y estoy cansada.
Highlights of the day? Bonding with all of my new friends, listening to "Eye of the Tiger" on the way back from the shore, and enjoying some chocolate helado with espresso after a long day while listening to John Lennon over the cafes speakers. It was wonderful. To make up for my lack of good information, here are some awesome pictures! Enjoy!
