I need to write about:
-frisbee game
Ron took me to the french school in zona sur where the canadian ambassador was playing frisbee! It was such a beautiful field, surrounded by mountains. there were about 25 people, canadian bolivian and all sorts of nationalities. there were a lot of different languages happening, french english and spanish all at once. we played 7 on 7. I ran one length of the field and threw up a little, embarrassing but true. combination of the extreme altitude and my unfittness. after that i was in the groove and was able to play better. there were some pretty hard core players out there. I am definitely not at that level! But it was fun and I am excited to go back.

See the pictures, it pretty much explains itself
-yummy brazilian food
Rodrigo and Elaine made us muqueca, a tradition north brazilian dish. IT WAS AMAZING. it was like a veggie stew that you mix with farofa, which comes from yuca flour. it was a very different texture than i had ever experienced, but the combination was amazing. the more satisfying meal ive had in a long time!
-deaf olympics
We went to the stadium and there were 5 schools participating in the festivities! My school, Huascar Cajias was the smallest. The kids did an opening march. Signed the national anthem and then began the events; long jump, sprinting, relays, ball toss. it was very cute. the kids were having lots of fun.
Pictures are coming soon...i hope.
the next day a bottle of water spilled in my bag and got my camera wet. Now it doesnt work :(
