This week I went to Puerto Chicama, about one hour and a half north of Trujillo, for an evening to enjoy some nice tranquil time at the beach to read. It was too warm to wear a jacket, but too windy to be comfortable with the shirt off, so not a perfect beach. Finished reading Catch 22, and started a few other books, one that I bought in spanish called The City and the Dogs.We gave another

I have had an incredible weekend here. The other intern here, Joel, and I went for a little trip this weekend. Last Thursday at about four we left to go to Chachapoyas, a city further in the mountains to the north, and arrived at 6 in the morning. We went with a tour group on Friday to go to some ruins called Kuelap. The civilization that built this fortress is pre-incan and supposedly had

This week has been a fairly normal week. The best part must have been a workshop that Joel and I put on for a small group of six the micro-empresarios. We taught them about differentiating their business from that others and again how to keep track of their cash and how to make and analyze an income statement. Pretty fun stuff. Went very well, even though Miguel went off on vacation the day

The internet was finally cut out this morning so I am writing this on my laptop to save on my USB and post on the internet later when I go to a locutorio (internet café). This weekend I went to Chan Chan again, went to the beach of Huanchaco and gave surfing another try. That was pretty fun, but the waves were pretty unpredictable and irregular. I didn’t get up on my feet yet, but I did body

The last week has been pretty exciting, as usual. A new intern, Joel, has arrived and it has been fun to get around with him and see how much I have already learned since I got here.Work has continually been changing here. The office is planning to move to Miguel's house, the only other employee of Eagle Condor here in Trujillo, in mid-July. I think Eagle C has made a huge mistake laying off

Yesterday I went to two new areas that are quite nice. First we went to Chan Chan. I went with three other BYU interns that are here in Trujillo, all three of them working with orphanages around and outside of town. These ruins are only partly uncovered to this day and much is still unknown about this Mochica society that was conquered by the Incas. We then went to a small beach in a town called

I am getting a little more adjusted, but life is definitely different without a car, without being able to be outside much past 9, watching everything that I eat very carefully, etc., etc.. But I am enjoying the difference and hope that it won't be too much longer until I am more accustomed to this lifestyle. The work that I have been doing for the past few days, and will continue to do in the

I am now at my place in Trujillo.  I live in a room in the office.  There is a bathroom with warm water, wireless internet available, I am on the second floor, and I will post some pictures as soon as I have the chance.  My boss, Henry Silva, is also the stake president, and lives in the same building with his family across the hall.  Last night I accompanied him to a cumpleanos of a 1 year old,

Hey,So I arrived in Lima, ordered a muffin that did not have nuts, took a bite, and it turns out it did have nuts. doh! No worries, I spit most of it out and the reaction went away within a half hour. I then went to my gate but my flight from Lima to Trujillo, which was going to leave at 5 am was delayed until 4 pm the same day. I complained to the desk for not telling me and so they paid to
