Multi-Post Update!






Hey all!

Well I finally made it back to my precious Mac in Satipo, and have the pleasure of showing you all my latest pictures! I'll start with Huancayo...

So three weeks ago I made it to Huancayo a second time, and got to work at Promypes with Heather (I think I mentioned all this in previous posts, but now you get pictures haha)- we got the chance to walk around a lot, and I took pictures of various interesting (or hilarious) things- we also checked out the mall, which has a lot of fast food and ice cream places, a movie theater (awesome!) and a Target-esque place-also, we hiked up Torre Torre- so here are some of my first Huancayo photos... oh, and also, I'm going to post more photos from Satipo, some of which are kind of gross (Heather was like "you have to show your family just what your Satipo-house is like," so I said "OK...if you insist!!" It's not that bad- it's mostly just funny, actually):

Sooo the top picture is THE GREATEST comb-over I have ever seen. Ever. I mean, LOOK at that thing! I don't even know if it's really a comb-over, it's more of a comb-up...but I won't tell him. He's got it goin' on.

Next are two typical (ie scary) Peruvian mannequins. Don't worry, I'll get pictures of even scarier ones. Heather and I can't decide if they're old 1980s US mannequins, or if they're just crappy, but they're everywhere.

The next is the back of my calves, post-Satipo. Yeah. This is JUST the back of my LEGS. I didn't even take photos of the front of them, or my arms. Every little red spot is an individual bite. Luckily, these are all gone now (well, at least for now hah) but I had to show you just what Peruvian bugs can do (despite Permethrin insecticide and bug spray). Yikes.

AAAnyway, the next are pizzas Iris made...with hot dog, ham/turkey meat and peaches. Yes, peaches. A very interesting combo, I must say. It was actually good, even though she only put on a drop of ketchup-type sauce (we put more on).

Finally, my much more comfortable Huancayo bedroom- despite the bars on the outside of the window, I have a pretty nice view of the mountains!

Anyway, another post with pics, comin right up!
