I love Daddy Yankee a little too much... almost as much as I love Pitbull

Short updates:

-I am definitely no longer in the honeymoon phase of adjustment to life in Peru/training.  No worries, I still love it here, but I'm just getting to a stage of extreme restlessness in training.

-PC/Peru Staff is totally aware of how this adjustment cycle goes, so we had a really good session about cultural/life adjustment yesterday.  And a week from today, we will be leaving for CAJAMARCA, a beautiful department of Peru, for Field Based Training!  They call this the "moment of truth," because we're basically let loose to teach entrepreneurship topics for 4 days in an "Institute" (sort of like a community college), followed by a simulation where our students will write up business plans, apply for a loan, execute the business for a day, and repay the loan.  Really pumped.  But not for the 17 hour bus ride.

-I'm cooking for my family tonight... I'm making chicken-veggie-pineapple stir-fry with rice, since it's pretty much all the same ingredients they eat daily, just prepared a little differently.  This will definitely be another moment of truth! So much importance on food/cooking here.

Enjoy the songs above!  I love them.  To give you an idea of what some traditional Peruvian music/dance sounds and looks like, see below.  The dance is kind of entertaining, or at least I entertain my family when I try to imitate it.  However, the traveling band that played huayno (that style) for almost 48 straight hours on Father's Day has made me quite tired of it.  Peruvians love them some huayno... all. the. time.
