Well, due to limited internet access, we've had to pre-date a few of our blog entries, the most exciting of which is assuredly the "Scorpions!!!" one from last week (also the entry right before this is pre-dated a few days ago). Go back and read that, and check if there are any other ones you've missed too :). Hope you're enjoying our adventures so far.
So about the bus mishap, since I don't think (upon reflection) that I wrote about it. Long story short, I got on one of the two right busses, but going in the wrong direction. I spent over two hours trying to get to where I meant to go in the first place, but I saw one of the most beautiful parts of Arequipa (Sachaca) on accident. So, 2.5 hours in busses, 10 minutes in taxi, to get to Catherine's host family's house which is a short 20-minute bus ride from my house. It was fun though.
Tonight, after a week of convincing Tania, we finally get cake! A nummy carrot cake, since Helen (Catherine's host sister) doesn't like chocolate cake. We're heading to Ilo tomorrow (Saturday) or Sunday since we have a Youth Group to go to tonight--and besides, we were supposed to take a full week off anyway.
Catherine got her ear wax cleaned out without any mishaps--but it's something she's going to need to have done again eventually due to her skin type. Also, we got her EEG results to her US doctor who has had a chance to look at them, and said they're "normal"-ish for her. So... we're really confused about what's going on there.
Anyway, Ilo and Moquegua this week. Hopefully I have some relaxing job so I can take a lot of pictures again (since I'm now official photographer for MMI's work in Peru--unpaid of course :-P). I've also been updating pictures from Tania's various missions to the MMI website (http://txo.mmint.org/Projects_Photos_Gallery/Albums.aspx), and I'm working on a YouTube account for their promotional video materials.
Talk to you all soon!!!
