Being April fool´s, I thought I would do an April Fool´s post, but then I thought I am currently living a life where anything is possible and how can you make up a post on a life where anything can happen at any given moment. For example, right now I am sitting at a computer surrounded by 9 other computer users and I am wearing my pajamas with a Chullo. I am wearing pajamas because it has been raining for the last 3 days and Sara and I went to Cusco and came back soaked (after having been offered cocain and some other drugs several times).
I could also tell stories about how all the sidewalks are on different levels and sometime have gapeing holes in them and in the rain its three times as bad to walk on because the stones are slippery. Sara and I were walking along such a sidewalk with holes, Sara in her not so sturdy Toms shoes, and Sara slipped in a hole hurting her ankle fairly badly, I hope she is doing better by Tuesday because that is the day we leave for our jungle trek to Machu Picchu (we have been confirmed!!) I do not think she will have to put her travelers insurance to use, but she is now soaking her foot in hot water.
Our living situation is interesting as well. We live above a shop in a small rural town. We are renting a room and the only way to get to the room is to walk along an outdoor balcony, then into our room. We also have access to another room that has been converted into a kitchen and a bathroom that has a sink a toilet and a shower head on the wall but no physical shower. We just shower right in front of the toilet. There is a window in the bathroom as well which I, being taller than the average Peruvian, have to be mindfull of when I walk by so I do not glimpse anyone inside.
Other news, I have started knitting a hat and my artistic skills are flowing, I am pretty good. Wheather or not it will hold water, I do not know.
Now I must return home to drink some Coca tea and eat some coca chocolates. It helps me cope with all the rain.
So you see, it is hard to pick out what is real and what could be just a figment of my imagination.

Hummm...in Andy's exact words after I read this blog to him, "I don't like that blog at all...". I think sometimes I should read the blog first and only tell him what I think he needs to know. So...how bad is Sara's ankle? If you or Sara are at a computer tomorrow, could you send me an email and let me know? And I think she painted a much brighter picture of your surroundings than you did. I'm not so sure what to think! But again, it is April Fools Day! ~ Mitzi
ReplyDeleteHello...everything is OK. I didn´t fall in any holes yesterday, although the sidewalks can present a challenge to walking. It was rainy and awful, but we made it home safely. I used hot water to heat up my poor little freezing feet. I think almost everything else was true (oh, no knitting going on here), including the drug offers. "no gracias, no gracias" -Sara
