Wow it´s March....

I´m still in Arequipa. Exept this week Jalen and I are staying with Martha!
She´s our homestay Mama, and she makes us wonderful (mostly)vegan food!
She also rents rooms in her house out... So if you ever want to go to Arequipa, Peru... You should call her!

Really cool things about Arequipa, Peru:
Everything is really cheap!
The people are easier to understand than Chileans.
The weater is wonderful.
It´s surrounded by mountains.
And they have chocolate.

Some not so cool things about Arequipa:
THEY DON´T HAVE WARM SHOWERS!
And that´s pretty much it.

Today Josie, Quinn, Wyatt, Kina, and I went to a neat and authentic market place with our Spanish teacher, they had some awesome stuff there!
The main reason we went was so that everyone who wanted could get jugo de rana (or frog juice). Yup it´s just what it sounds like.
A woman takes 2 frogs, knocks them out, peals them, boils them, puts them in a blender with milk, honey, quinoa, maca powder, and a few other grains, then she pours the juice through a strainer to get the bones and chunks out, andddd Bon Appetite!
The Market also had LOTS of meat, I think the worst was the bucket of cow heads....
But all in all I{m glad they don{t let anything go to waste... Or turn it in to a hotdog...
(Now for my homework I have to write all that in Spanish... Yikes)

Side note: If you have an Ipod touch, 3 dollars, and time to kill
you should get FIELD RUNNERS! (app)
Moving on....
I{ll have pictures soon... I hope, Friday at the latest!
