Such a Bonobo

      The days are flying by! As Jaclyn stated, it has felt more like 14 years not 3 days, but in a good way! Peru has been so welcoming to us gringos and this has been a wonderful pseudo home. This will be a short post for I am exhausted from the last couple of days. When we get back from Mala, though, I promise a more substantial post.
      We went back to El Huerto today where we learned about how farms are able to become certified organic, how to transplant trees and how to make good compost. There are some cotton plots right beside El Huerto where I picked my first piece of cotton, which is hilarious seeing as I'm from the South.
      After our day at El Huerto, we again had lunch on campus then went to our spanish lessons. Once our "advanced" Spanish group was finished, and while the not so advanced took their lessons, Maya and I took a walk with Nico and Jared. Jared, who I have yet to introduce, is an Aussie who also works at the hostel and teaches surfing lessons. I'm telling you, this place is paradise. We all walked down to the shore along with Sancho as the sun went down. A perfect end to a perfect day. But lets not forget the amazing communal meal we had of quinoa and stir-fried veggies.

Besos!
