How am I going? Well, great. I feel lucky, more lucky than I have ever felt in my life. I wake up each morning and have bread with whatever my family has on the table, avocado, fried cheese (yep, you read that right), butter or chicken, (fried of course). And as I walk to work, I see others struggling to get their breakfasts by going through garbage on the roadside,

I am in Chincha and I am enjoying it heaps. Sorry I have not mailed about it earlier. I was in bed with la gripe (the flu) all of last week, so I have not been doing much for my project.

My host family is lovely. My sister Maria del Carmen… we call her Marita, has been helping me out so much with the practical important things, and she is also getting me a social life. I have been here less than two weeks and I was sick for one of them, but I have already attended two parties, one a wedding. Did I know the bride or groom?…. no!
