Arequipa

hey yall,

We’ve been in Arequipa for about 11 days now and have a had a lot of fun. We all met our awesome homestay families and have been having fun with them frequently. For the weekdays, the group is split in two.  One group learns spanish while the other helps out this cool dude Rick out at the orphanage he started here. Last week the group at the orphanage helped out by painting a good chunk of the orphangage and this week the other group has been making chocolates for their sale by the orphan girls  so they can fund a fun vacation. Other than that the group has been enjoying the great views here with three huge volcanoes chillin next to the city, we also all went to a discotech to practice our salsa dancing which was pretty dope.  Many of us went to see the terrifying horror film, Insidious 2. Besides that we’re all just preparing for fiestas and for Dia de Los Muertos. We’ll probably have some pretty cool pics for you despues the day of the dead. peace!
