Going to Puno

Last night, after class and conversation group with Anthony and Alonso (twas quite fun!), I went out for pizza with a bunch from Calvin. It was good. The company was better than the pizza. The pizza wasn't bad... but it wasn't Aurelios. But I had some wonderful jugo de maracuya (it's passion fruit juice)!! After dinner I had a great night of skyping with my parents, watching tv, and getting some homework done.

This is the pizza I shared with Lauren.

And here is the other half of our table! This is a great group of people! I like them.

Oh, and this morning, I went to el mercado with Tita! I ate this wonderful fruit! It's called granadilla, and wow--it's good! I need to take a picture of it sometime. It's kind of funny looking on the inside. El mercado is really close to our house. There are lots and lots of stands with fresh fruit and vegetables of all kinds, and there are meat stands. At the fish stand, there are whole fish, (and they are really big) and the woman who works there cuts the fish up and takes the scales off when you buy some. Tita bought some and we had it today for lunch. It's called corvina and it's quite delicious.

Also, there are so many kinds of potatoes here. They come in lots of different colors.

Well, in a few hours, our whole group is going on a weekend trip. We're off to Lake Titicaca (which, so you know, is the highest navigable lake in the world). We'll be back  on Sunday night, and I'm pretty pumped. So, I won't be posting anything until we get back.

We are going to Puno, Lake Titicaca, and Isla Taquile (an island on the lake)!

Oh God, You are so good. Thank You for showing Yourself to me here. I pray that our upcoming weekend trip would bring You honor--guide our time together as a group and our conversation. Help me to keep my eyes open that I might see You at work and know You more. God, You are wonderful!
