I have been back in northern Peru for a few days now and, all in all, it feels good. It was a bit harder to leave home this time for a couple of reasons. One, I knew I would not be able to see my family and friends for the next year; although I hope my parents will be coming down for a visit in July or August. And two, I got into a good routine at home doing work that I really enjoyed, even though I wasn't surfing. Regardless, I am getting settled in nicely. I am staying at the same hostel that I stayed in for a couple of months back in november and december called Hostel McCallum. If you are ever in this part of Peru Hostel McCallum is a great place to stay. The family who owns and operates it are so accommodating. I will, most likely, stay here until I find an apartment for myself. I'll probably have to wait to get an apartment until the summer ends because the prices are much higher.
Tomorrow I begin my new position as a 6th grade English and science teacher at Sir Alexander Fleming College in Trujillo. Though I'm a bit nervous, considering this is my first job associated with my college degree, I am, also, very ready to get going. I have been anticipating and talking about this job for, what seems like, forever. I'm ready to go.
As I start a new portion of my life here in Peru it is always nice to bring a few things from home.
