Home in Arequipa

We are now living in our new apartment and have just finished our first week of Spanish lessons!  The apartment is pretty nice, but the only problem has been getting internet - people are pretty flaky and it takes an act of congress to get just about anything done around here (not like the US at all, right???? :)  So this is why I haven't updated the blog lately, but now I'M BACK like Arnold, so check out our new pad pics...

We have also met some cool people since we've been here (I know, it's hard to imagine since Dan & I are so anti-social :)  In typical Dan fashion, we befriended the couple who owns the hotel we were staying at as well as a nice French couple (Hilda & Greggory) who were also staying there.  We're also starting to meet people at our school and went to see a South American dance performance with a nice couple from Arizona.

My camera battery ran out after Columbia :(

And of course, my man dan...

Tomorrow night we may be going to a Picantaria--a restaraunt with traditional Arequipian food, singling & dancing.  We are having a great time but are missing our family & friends.  Much love to everyone!  Hasta Luego.
