My whereabouts in the near future

I've had a nice relaxing day today. An adorable tiny puppy showed up outside our front door! My host sister and I couldn't help but go play with her for a good half hour (and bring her a little bit of food).  She took quite a liking to Francisca and stayed out there for several hours even after we had to come in for lunch.  Awwww




But I digress. Tomorrow morning (Saturday) I have a bus to the regional hub, and from there another bus to Valdivia (a city in the South I visited last month) for the night. Then Sunday we have a meeting for English camp in a town near Valdivia, called Panguipulli. Camp will start Monday morning, and it's an overnight camp so we'll be staying in the same dorm building as the campers! Not quite sure what kind of responsibilities that will mean for me and the other volunteers (four of us total, including one of my friends from Angol, Joe) but I'm excited for the camp! We'll be doing that all week, and one of the projects all the camps have to do is make a lip-dub video in English, so keep an eye out for that! Then I'll be getting back to Angol next Saturday, and relaxing here until my night bus leaves for Santiago late on Sunday night.  Monday I will fly with my friend Caroline and another volunteer (Jen) to Lima to begin our Peru trip! We'll spend a few days in Lima, fly to Cuzco, spend a few days there to get used to the altitude, then see Machu Picchu on Sunday the 28th! Then back to Cuzco, then back to Lima, then back to Santiago. The other two girls will then head back home to the U.S. but I will come back to Angol to start the second semester here!  So what I'm saying is, further blog posts will be MIA until August, while I'm out having the time of my life at camp and in Peru. But I'll be taking tons of pictures! Wish me luck! : )
