Some Shilla youth! In our awesome new coliseo...I will hopefully start to work more with the primaria (elementary) kids mas starting next school year. The Peuvian summer vacation starts the end of December until March... maybe some art summer school classes? We shall see....
Fellow chevere Ancash volunteers on a hike to Lake Churup.The fellow volunteers are amazing.. and the new 4 Peru 14ers just got here this past week. Quechua classes in January will be very fun and hopefully more hike filled.
Baja and I on the hike! Oso (Christie's dog) came on the hike too! There is an Ancash volunteer tradition of jumping into the glacier lakes.. we shall see if I actually do it...
Sun rain view from my casa.The rainy season has started officially. I remember, literally, the first day of October it poured and basically there was lluvia (rain) the entire rest of the month.. and then.. it stopped. Until recently. I love the sound it makes on my tin roof and I can't wait til it is raining all day long... just how I like it. Plus todo is all verde (green) now. It's gorgeous. Oh. Also, there are frequently rainbows in sun showers like this one depicted above. My host sister Gladis informed me that rainbows kill people. So I told her that we think there is a pot of gold at the end of them.... which is a sillier explanation? You tell me.
The little plaza close to my house.Dad. Here is our portion of a paved road. I believe this plaza is relatively new and I enjoy sitting in the little gazebo things when it rains and playing/chatting with the kids on the steps.
Me and some Shilla madres.... after teaching about AIDS.World Aids Day is December 1st.. so we're going to have Shilla's first ever March against AIDS on Tuesday. In order to prepare, my health post counterpart (the awesome dentista) and I taught some charlas to the secundaria kids and some moms about what AIDS and HIV are and then we'll have the marcha.
My PANDA trash can! Too cute to not buy.... should I send you one Bri?
Mi cozy cuarto... with a wall and all... and this is after I cleaned it.
Fun with the sisters.
World Map Progress.. I'll be posting just world mapness from start to finish soon when it's all done. Falta poco. The jovenes are good painters!

Woman, you are fabulous.
ReplyDelete1. There is a dog named bear. I hope he is fuzzy and I love him.
2. RAINBOWS KILL PEOPLE?!?!?!!!!
3. That is quite the cute panda trash can. Kind of weird, putting candy wrappers into the panda mouth, though, after this panda has eaten the candy out of them. My room already looks a little obsessive... Also, if you sent me the panda trashcan, I would have to send you a llama trashcan and then the Peruvian postmen would get very confused. Maybe your name should change from Emilemur to Emillama. You WERE LaMa in our prison gang, after all.
Fondly, Briannteater.
