Three beds and a mini fridge

¡Hola! y bienvenidos to my blog.
So...I'm in Peru. We arrived this morning at 5ish and checked into our hotel in Lima after a nice man picked us up (not a nice stranger man, a nice previously arranged chauffer man). The title of this blog is a good description of what Starla and I found when we opened the door of the hotel room.
A few things that made me feel welcome:
-The green light that came on after I pushed an oversized button that told me I didn't have to have my bags checked in customs...Starla was not so lucky
-Taylor Swift song upon landing
-The previously mentioned chauffer man, also known as Victor
-A restaurant called Jenny
-Each jogger I saw. There was a surprising amount for 6 in the morning...(either that or a big game of tag that we totally missed out on)
-etc.
Yes well, there are a few things that are different i.e. traffic laws, kissing customs, etc. but it's very fun. This morning we went to breakfast (drinks) at 10 (11) with Luis (a group of medical students) Although it was more like the parenthetical descriptions that what I was expecting, I really enjoyed it. It was a lot of spanish since all the students were from Latin American countries, but I understood most of it. Oh, what I didn't understand most of was the concert we went to tonight. Maybe the microphone was slurring their ennuciation, maybe songs are harder to understand, maybe I got less than an hour of sleep in a bed last night, maybe I just need to practice Spanish. But I think some of these reasons ganged up and somehow made it so I was mostly lost. Oh, also...the songs were in Quechua not Spanish. But I did love the accordian :D
A few things that I need to get used to for my stay in Peru:
- Speaking Spanish
- Being without Taylor
- ¡The Spanish keyboard!
- Crazy traffic and drivers
- etc.
Ok, so for those of you who are wondering what I'll be doing in Peru (mom) I'll update you as I go. I learned today that one of the doctors that works at the clinic in Yantalo wants to start a nutrition program and Luis mentioned multiple times that it would be my job. I don't really know what that entails. For now, I'm working my way to the village one bus at a time. We're in Lima, tomorrow we go to Trujillo (about 9 hours by bus) and hopefully I'll update you from there. Oh, and mostly when I say we I mean Caleb, Starla and I :D
Lots of love to all,
-Jenny
