Our six month anniversary
Just a quick hello since its six months today since we left rainy old Heathrow for the brightlights, sandy beaches and indisciminate muggins of Rio That seems like such a long time ago already, time is really starting to fly by here and before we know it we´ll be back to work. Real work that is, not the random “teaching” we are attempting here!! Although routine here really is making time pass quickly, we are already over half way through our Galapagos experience.
We have the party of the century tomorrow when the little girl we live with (practically) turns three. There are over 70 guests coming apparently and the cost of the thing is rediculous given that they all keep bitching they have no money (whilst plugging in the new computer and checking various cell phones!).
I got back from Santa Cruz last weekend a little more refreshed after a nights break and stocked up with Nutella and granola to break up the rice – although not to be served with the rice you understand.
We have taken on some extra classes this week too, we are doing an extra hour a nigt for the dive school here in exchange for dives and wetsuit rental etc (at a cost of $125 per dive we had all but written it off). We´ll see how it goes, they were supposed to start last night but no-one turned up so we are not expecting it to be that consistent or taxing.
I am looking forward to a getting on the move again and heading to Peru, only six weeks to go now and I really must get into Inca training, I am pretty sure my folks will be much fitter than me by then – so embarrassing. We have been watching the news about Peru since the earthquake just south of Lima, Ica and I think we might have to take it off our itinerary now, it is a disaster area with very little aid or water getting through from what we understand here, although the news does tend to me a little sensationalist and as far as we can tell there are no newspapers here!!
We have scrounged old copies of Newsweek from the peacecore volunteers here and between that and the BBC website we are just about keeping in touch with the real world. Although I was so pleased today to not understand a word about the latest Big Brother star making the Yahoo headlines!
