Here It Goes: Peru
http://allisondoeschile.blogspot.com/2010/09/peru.html
From the Big Easy to Chile. Thursday, September 9, 2010. Alright, I admit. I've been super bad about updating y'all on my life. So for winter break in July I went to Peru for nearly 2.5 weeks and it was freaking awesome! Peru is an amazing country, beautiful, awesome intact indigenous culture still and their spanish is so much better! FINALLY). Arequipa is super beautiful as you can see below. But not tons to do. We went to the Monastery which was completely cloistered until the 70s! Peru y una peruana.

From the Big Easy to Chile. Monday, July 5, 2010. Colegio General Velazquez: this is where it all goes down. This photo was taken from the high school part of the school (where my class room is) facing the elementary part of the school. Behind the school is Puchuncavi. You can see the church steeple. And behind that the cerros! THE ANDES in all their glory! In more news, winter vacation is next week and I'm going first to La Termas de Chillan in the south of Chile and on Tuesday I am going to Peru!

http://allisondoeschile.blogspot.com/2010/04/my-life-as-teacher.html
From the Big Easy to Chile. Saturday, April 24, 2010. My Life as a Teacher. Lunch is the worst part of my day. I sit in the teacher's lounge and talk to no one b/c I have no idea whatsoever what is being spoken around me. it's absolutely loco. and i feel horrible because i want so much to be friends and communicate but not only do i fear sounding like an idiot, i really know so little spanish that every other line would be 'como? First day of teaching alone was Tuesday, and I taught all week on my own!

From the Big Easy to Chile. Monday, May 17, 2010. This is where it all goes down y'all! My house is just to the right of that pole, it has a blue fence. This is after the rain. Another view of the downtown, its crazy busy. It's small, quaint, nothing going on, but I do really like it and it's beautiful. This is me in front of my school: Colegio General Velasquez Borquez. Also, here is my address in the event that you'd like to send some something (hint hint):. Keep in touch y'all! May 17, 2010 at 8:22 PM.

From the Big Easy to Chile. Thursday, May 27, 2010. That I am sick because I don't wear a scarf, cover my neck or mouth with it constantly.

Also, if you feel so inclined to send care pkgs (hint hint) books are a good place to start. they aren't really wildly available here in english and i get the idea i might plow thro what i got.

From the Big Easy to Chile. Tuesday, May 4, 2010. A couple of weekends ago we (actually our first weekend at our host family's houses) all of the volunteers and I got together in Valparaiso for Saturday night. Here is a picture of Valpo. It is a city completely built on hills surrounding a bay. Across the bay is Vina del Mar, which you could perhaps describe as a more clean and trendy city. Friends at valpo for the veleros! Cachagua with Bennett and Lauren! This is a 20 minute bus ride from my house!
