Sorry I haven't updated in eight days. I was going to do it before I left Arequipa, but I didn't have anything remotely interesting to talk about. But I do now. I didn't go to Puno (Lake Titicaca) because Rotary postponed the trip due to such a small number of interested students. But I did go to Mollendo (a beach town) with my host family. There were 22 of us! We shared a tiny hostel with three rooms for 3 days and 2 nights. The first day I spent hours and hours in the ocean; the waves were huge! But then I got very badly sunburnt and couldn't go out in the sun. So I spent the entire second day at the beach sitting under an umbrella watching the waves. And on the second night my cousins and I went to a club. It was dead so we went back to the hostel and talked til 3 in the morning. Then we got up at 6 the next morning to go have breakfast and go to the beach again. I did swim a little but for no more than an hour. After the beach we had lunch and headed home to Arequipa. I had a really good time. And I think I really needed the vacation, I was so bored before I left. I didn't take my camera, because a friend of mine did and her's was stolen so I didn't want to risk it. So there are no pictures. Only memories.

I went to Puerto Rico over Christmas break with the swim team. One day we were playing in HUGE waves and a local yelled at a girl on our team "come back little girl come back" because she was out so far. Random thought.
