Fun from my birthday party with the Cubas´, the students coming over to wish me a happy happy, and a little first communion baptism in the host family. We had the despedida last night and though I did not get emotional, it is starting to hit home more that I am leaving in two weeks. Very very soon. But I am absolutely loving the present and am enjoying every moment I am spending with the wonderful people of Peru.
