December, Talent Show, Navidad

Hola, now as we enter Christmas and I have not posted for a while many things have begun to arise.  To start with AFS had a talent show in which every AFS student was told to present a talent and bring a dish from their home country.  I told jokes with my friend Simon and made some crepes for them to try.  Others played the piano, guitar, sang, etc.  A few days later we left for Chiclayo with our AFS group, its around 3 hours south from Piura.  There we visited the museum, the nearby beach, and hit the discotecas at night.  The museum was very interesting as it shed light on the Moche culture, and the tombs of Senor de Sipan.  The club was extremely fun although it got pretty hectic near the end.

  

   

   

  
 The next day we went to the beach, which turned out to be a muddy, very windy, cold beach (we were all pretty dissapointed.)  When we returned to Piura I was greeted at my house with Christmas decorations everywhere, since it has been getting hotter and hotter, Christmas had slipped my mind.  It was extremely fun putting the lights on the tree with the kids, they look adorable in there Santa Hats.  With AFS we are doing a volunteer activity for Christmas where we are making goodie bags with candies and cookies to give out to under-privileged children at the english school.     Also since we just passed the summer solstice we have been having wonderful sunsets, I will post some pictures.  Feliz Navidad a todos!!!
