Sleep and Mac and Cheese ...

 

So I´ve been sleeping a ridiculous amount ... like 11 hours. I take my 2 hour siesta (which anyone who knows me know that I love) and then am in bed by 10pm to wake up at like 630. I feel like an old lady. I am trying to tell myself its the jet lag but I might be lying to myself. We will see. Above my bed (and every bed in the house) is a picture of Jesus himself to look down upon me (and protect me while I sleep? or maybe remind me not to do anything sinful? we´ll see how that works out). Peru is a very catholic country. So far I have not russelled any feathers thou it could be because I don´t know enough spanish.

 

 

So I finally was able to call my mother yesterday but only after Senora Leticia went on a mission to find the correct calling card (I bought the wrong one which took me 3 days to purchase in the first place becuase I got lost). We went to like 5 stores and that old lady walked like it was her duty. Made me feel like my young self needed to get it toghther. But I did get to talk to my mom who "only wanted to hear my voice to make sure I was okay and tell Senora muchas gracias." I love my mom and can´t wait til thanksgiving turkey.

 

 

So I mention thanksgiving in my class today to my teacher and she asks me what do we eat for this holiday (where do I start?). So I mention turkey, green beans, stuffing, and mac and cheese... "mac and cheeeese que eso?" Don´t know mac and cheese? Its like the best thing in the world. So I proceed to explain mac and cheese and how to make it (since appartently it does not exist in Peru .. they are missing out... actually I could start a resturante y make mad dinero). "Que rico." Yes it is. So I need to make some mac and cheese before I leave. I also tried to explain breaded chicken and think I got her to understand what are bread crumbs thou needed to google a picture of it. Sigh...smh...

 

 

Oh, and I surely got my chocolate yesterday... thou it wasn´t that good but thats besides the point.
