Yesterday we met with our liaison of our group, Marion. Super cool spirited and chill. She is bilingual and originally from Maine. 
Above is our group for the program. The girl on the left is Nina, helper of program, and Marion is in the middle back. I'm living with the two next to me, on right, and the other two are staying in the house of a host family. We are too hit on the top floor so it is like an apartment.
It was great to finally get to know a bit of information about this trip and where we would be staying as well as what we'd be doing. After our meeting we went to La Quinta in Miraflores because Alice's luggage was lost on a flight and needed some clothes. (FYI we got a call that night that her luggage arrived!!) 
Kolby and Danielle got phones and we just hung out. I tried speaking Spanish with them only because I remembered my experience in Chile where I regretted speaking too much English. Of course it felt weird at first but it will benefit us all. We even made signs for our apartment. We are doing good. 
I am comfortable in my own abilities and have got quite a few complements but it takes practice and I can't slack on it.
My friend Anni went to Paracas and Ica and is continuing her trip in South America. She is such a sweet girl and I wish the best for her!!
I do like it here and I take the mornings for some time to myself to reflect and plan out my day. I just sit still, doing nothing but taking it all in. Then the day begins!! Hasta pronto!
