This post contains a lot of thoughts that include food

1. Today for lunch, I ate cauche de queso. Oh man - that was good! It was kind of like soup. My bowl contained two whole potatoes, and this delicous soupy stuff, and a chunk of yummy cheese!! Oh, it was good. I have been eating so many good things here! Ah, the FRUIT is so good! I love it! Sometimes, for dinner I eat fruit with honey, and it is absolutely delicious.

2. Speaking of fruit, there's this place called Pura Fruta that has lots of yummy fruit stuff. I went there this week with Megan, one of my classmates, because we had a presentation that we had to work on, and I got a really great smoothie.

3. Earlier this week, I went to have tea at the lovely home of las abuelitas. There other sister was there, as well as a friend of theirs and Tita and I. It was quite fun to spend time with them and hear all of their stories.

4. Everytime that I walk to Colegio Claretiano, I walk past a street called "Jhon F. Kennedy"... spelled exactly like that.

5. Last night, I had conversation group with Danery. We went to Cibum's which is a cute little coffee/food place that is really close to the university. I ate salchipapas, which are french fries and hot dogs. Apparently, salchipapas are a common fast food-type meal here. They were quite yummy. And I had a great time talking with Danery! I enjoy the conversation groups so much!! They are one of the things that I look forward to the most during the week.

6. This morning, I went to class. When I got back, Tita was heading out the door and asked if I wanted to go with her. So, I threw my stuff in my bedroom and followed her out. We ran some errands around the town for a little while. Some of the things that she needed to do involved going to el centro, but the traffic in the city was really crazy. The month of October is a month of the Senor de los Milagros in the Catholic Church in Peru, and there was a big procession today that re-routed many many vehicles. We took a taxi to el centro and saw a bit of the procession before heading off to el mercado and finishing up some errands. Even though we were just really running errands, I had a great time! I really like going places with Tita and seeing things and talking to her. These outings are never planned... they just happen, and I really really like them.
