peru update dos

hola,
theres so much to update, i laugh at the idea of doing this in spanish

to talk about: strike, donuts, black market, wallet, convi´s, stove projects, photos,


first i want to include a couple of photos.

excuse my writing cause the keyboard is killing me. also, the window just closed on my so i lost a bunch of the carefully planned email. therefore, just deal with the topic hopping. thanks,
and now, the update :)

k, first off, there was an ALL PERU strike yesterday, they canceled and clopse4d everything! school was canceled so we went and struck?¿ as well. no violence though - lame. o well, you can see it a little bit. there was also a bunch of super anti-us art that kinda made me nervou8s but when i asked my host family, they said it was a uberminority opinion. anyways, the strike was cool
o, my family, i haven´t told you about them yet. they´re AWESOME. the mom is the professor of the advanced spanish class, so shes constantly helping me which is good. the dad is an artist,hes also really funny. the older brother is studying to be a dessert chef, the sister is studying to be a archetect, and the little guy is 6.
school is not worth talking bout cept that i´´m learning a bunch (however i´m learning more just living life in spanish. the only english i speak is with the begining students, and with you guys [and when i write down important information - cuando importante, ingles ;) ]) for those of you that i talk to youa bout the school, i was wrong, instead of doing school in the morning and work in the afternoon, we have class most of the day and we´re going to start work tomorrow and saturday. tomorrow´s project as best i can tlel is to organize the medicine in a clinic. they haven´t said much about it. but saturday´s project is the cooler one. we´re building stoves for the really poor people living outsie the city(which is 400k persons, and at close to 11,000 ft [appreciate your oxygen! i´m jealous]. its big enough that we have to either take a $1 cab to school (the cost based on numkber of stops not distance) or a 20 cents ¨convi¨ride - which is kinda like a bus things. ) so ya.
on sunday we´re going to the big football game of the season (cusco´´s team is secodn best to one of 3 lima teams which they´re playing on sunday) i´m so unbelievably excited. also on sunday we´re going to the black market to see what we can see (something we WILL see and purchase is the dvd to Batman Dark Knight. it comes out on the black market before it hits theatres ;) sorry nolan). i´m excited for that.
yesterday we made donuts, that was fun. which brings me to the food. its all interesting. and i´m not the ´solo pan´boy that i once was, i´ve agreed to eat cuy´´ (and i´ll let you look that one up if you´re brave enough). i´m loving the salads and today i had one made from avocado (sorry dad).
my hour is about to run out so i think thats it for now. oh, to reply to me, i think it might work hitting reply, but it might not. so you might have to creat a new email and type in my email (bigdman1216@gmail.com or darren@familyreis.com) thanks,

oh, and my wallet was stolen. dad, look into getting a new driver´s license ( i skimmed the page cause i don´t know if i need a lost liscense form to get another drivers liscense - the police said i do they also say i have to pay a fair amount for it, so i don´t wanna blindly do that). ya, so look into that process please. and also dad, you were right, i´m prolly going to want the new cards.
adios, hasta ¿domingo?, i think i´ll get back to a net cafe something between now and then.
