Hey everyone.  Today is Monday and today are changes!  I have been here in Sicuani for a good 6 months but now it´s time for me to go.  I have been changed to Puno.  Even higher and even colder.  But it´s pretty cool.

This week was pretty interesting.  First off, everybody was making bread.  Someone even asked us to help her make bread.  I was wondering why all the bread.  Second, there was a bunch of people selling things to put on grave sites.  I still didn´t get it until Friday.  I finally realized that we were close to El Día de los Muertos (day of the dead).  Basically it´s a day where everyone goes and visits those who have passed on and leave on the graves things that they liked in their mortal lives.  I knew Spanish class would come in handy.

As for teaching, we just got a lot of falling through and rejection this week...  It was interesting.  Some people even thought we were salesmen.  I don´t get it sometime.

That´s really about it.  Nothing too special except making bread.  Love you all and thanks for all the support.  See you in Puno.
