down of my stomach. This is why I am not in Ladriella this morning. The jungle was amazing. Very "a l improviste" which made it surprising and adventurous. Will give you an up-date on this soon. If it works out I will have some film (the dancing with the tribes could be send in for funniest home videos, the waterfalls, the walk threw the river, coming up soon in part three of -Peru het leven zoals het is-) to show.
Buonas Dias and a super weekend for all!!!
3 hours ago we -or better the chaps- decided to go threw with the jungle plan. It took forever to -knoop door te hakken- as they are short on cash and they both dropped ill this week. But now it is certain that we are going but this is the only thing sure. For the moment nothing else is planned. Tomorrow at eight Juan Jose will give us a short briefing on transportation, guides ect. We can stay in the volunteer house which is cheap - the mission is to keep this as budget friendly as possible- and nice to get to know these people and their project.
So it was our last day in the Ladriella project this week. The project offers the children of the brick baking community the chance to engage in educational -mainly english-, artistic and sportive activities. It s a great initiative but not easy as boys and girls between 5-12 can come and often they bring their younger brothers and sisters. This means you can be walking around with a one year old while you are trying to stimulate other children in engaging in the planned activities. Also you don't know who is coming because they all go to school at different times and also need to work sometimes.
(When they start baking the stones it needs to burn non stop for 48 hours so somebody always needs to be present.)
But the kick off has been lots of fun, most children are very spontaneous, loving and once you motivate them to do something very enthuasiastic. They are also incredibly strong, we have already had nose bleeds, heads knocked against the floor but hardly any tears. Even the smallest are played with like dolls -on the toy car, on the cupboard, pulled around on mattresses and hardly give a scream (I am a lot more worried about it then they are)
I already helped with the first homework of children which was fun but challenging. The solar system in general isn't my cup of tea but in spanish,...
Started Spanish course so I hope this will pay of real soon.
Survivied my first dog attack pretty well, turned-started barking myself which scared him of enough. Did carry a rock in my pocket the rest of the way. Alex and me free styled to the center in our mission to find kite material and also important chocolate cake (this is one address that I won't forget,...)
We were also treated to the sauna this Monday as the showers hadn't worked that long. As a lot of Peruvian buildings it missed some parts, window on the last floor and closing doors towards the roof. Smelling fire I decided to take a look and discovered a camp fire underneath the water pipes. The essence was also still authentic having a half bush of eucalyptus stuck in the boiling water.
Ended the evening with Pierce as half of the house had a stomach infection. Decided to be a little adventurous and ordered a dish that I had never heard from with chicken. Decided this is my last chicken adventure for a while as it turned out to be either chicken nek -more pezen then meat- or chicken insides, neither of them sound realy appealing to me.
