Friday was the last day of classes until March 8th...boo yah. After our final exam we went to the museum of precolombian culture. It is a museum of all the art before the Spanish influence in Latin America. Check out some of the pics on the right. There is a picture there of two mumified babies. They are from a group of the oldest mummies in the WORLD. Over 7000 years old to be exact (well I guess it's not really exact but you catch my drift).
After the museum, which was really cool, we went back to the University to get lunch. They have the best deals. A plate of ham, rice, mashed potatoes, jelly, bread, juice, and a soda all for about $3.80 USD. Can't beat it. The dollar is getting stronger down here as well.
After lunch we had about an hour to kill while we waited for Isabel to have her meeting with us. Some of us slept in the grass (note picture above) and the rest of us talked and joked around on campus.
The meeting was nice...Isabel is really cute she is an older lady and she takes really good care of us. She speaks English but we mostly talk to her in Castellano. I will try to get a picture of her soon. Actually there is a picture of her posted already if you wanna check it out. It is the picture from last weekend where we are all sitting at a long table, she is on the right.
After the meeting with Isabel we took the metro over to Esteban's house so he could take us out to get our bus tickets. They were about $120 USD round trip for a 20 hour ride each direction. I'm not really familiar with US prices but I guess that is pretty decent.
We parted ways after buying tickets and I went back for a siesta. It was Friday night so I figured all of us were getting together. I took a shower and caught the metro over to Cynthia's house because she lives closer to everyone else.
Christian's cousin died yesterday in a car crash...he was only 24. It looks like he fell asleep at the wheel driving early in the morning. It was a sad loss for his family. Please keep him in your prayers. The funeral kind of put a damper on our plans and we all decided it would be best and respectful if we took it easy. I just hung out at Cynthia's and watched a movie.
I caught a bus home (packed like sardines) and made my way home. I got to sleep in for the first time in weeks!
Hasta pronto
