Monday June 23

Sunday was fun, I had lots of fun with the team and enjoyed the day. I finished reading Jesus For President at night which was great. I need to change how I live. Loving my enemy, nonviolence...stuff like that. Well, we went to bed at 9 pm and awoke at 4:30 am so we could get off the barge! Yay!

We got off at 5:30 at the town of Maypuco. We are here for 1 week. We got all our bags and food and walked on a straight cement path for about a mile. We arrived at a beautiful house (kind of a hut...more like a porch in the states). A thatched room, A-frame, skillfully made, and tree bark on the floor. A bamboo railing surrounds us. There is a kitchen space off the rear and a small path to the bathroom (a.k.a. a hole in the ground inside a shack). It is great.

After getting situated with all our crap, we layed down tarps on the ground and put our sleeping bags down. Now we are quiet-timing it while some Peruvian guys are hanging mosquito nets over us. They are very kind. I am teaching English everyday this week along with Amy and Monica. I am excited for that.
