Just a quick post here and may have more time to go into detail later. here are some awesome things that happened while in Peru:
-I got oatmeal flour thrown on my head

-the men on the trip killed a rat eating Puerto Alegria's food
- I ate a grubworm (suri)
-I played soccer on a muddy field and fell 5 times before I could make it 1/2 way across the field
- We took the boys to the zoo and we saw two jaguars fight
- Alexander called a guy on our team a white monkey
