Well, it looks like my plans will be different than expected tomorrow. Tomorrow is when we will head down and take a tour of the Sacred Valley. We will leave at 8:30am and church is at 9:00, so i won't be able to go to church tomorrow - (don't worry mom, i'm still active). I don't think we will be getting back until evening, so maybe we'll have to wait until Monday evening to Skype. We'll see. I just took a very long, and needed nap. My bed is amazingly comfortable and warm. Rosanna is very well off and has a very beautiful home and lives on the longest (and probably busiest) street in Cuzco. Breakfast was great! I really like the Coca tea (or however you spell it). Micheal and I talked a lot. Because there is almost nothing to do in Ocongate for pleasure (there are two internet Café's, and one or two restaurants), Rosanna has offered to let me stay here on the weekends. I told them I will be coming in town for church every Sunday anyway, so that would be a great idea to just come Friday or Saturday and be here for the weekend. Obviously that wont happen every single week, but i now have that option, which is really nice. There are no other students staying at Rosanna's house right now except Micheal, so it's just us, Rosanna, and her two children. I haven't met them yet, but Micheal says they are very nice. I am going to a Catholic Baptism today that Micheal is participating in, he's the God-Father, or something. Then we'll have dinner, and possibly go to the Plaza de Arma. I sure hope so cause if we do, i'm getting a massage! They're pretty darn cheap here and you don't know how freaking sore i am! Ok, maybe some of you do, but i've never had my neck and shoulders this tight before. I will start school Monday morning at 8:45, and will have class for 8 hours a day. It's all individual tutoring,i'm excited to learn! Micheal says there are about 5 other students at the moment, so i'll meet them soon. oh! i forgot to tell you earlier! On the plane ride here i sat by a very nice young man, but he didn't speak English at all. I spoke better Spanish than he spoke English, but of course that's not saying much. I got that his name is Franco and he works at the airport and lives in Cuzco. Apparently this is flirting and i got his number and email address. He wasn't cute at all, but thanks anyway...i guess? The men are very forward here, especially since i slept most the flight so we barely even talked. But the short time i've been here, there are some very cute brown guys here! Not the typical "good looking" sort in the states, but still, very attractive. don't worry mother, even if they're cute, i'll have my pepper spray ready. although the people here are generally really nice, so far at least. Well, i don't have to be ready for the baptism for another 2 hours but i think i'll go explore the streets a little bit, take some pictures for you, etc. I love you so very much and am so excited to start this experience of mine!
p.s. we also had banana juice that Rosanna made with breakfast, suuuuuper yummy! :]
