So today started off lazy since we didn't have class until 10 am. I woke up with a really dry mouth from my stuff nose though. After eating breakfast we went to school and took a quiz. I finished my paper that is due on Monday since I have my final project proposal and my presentation over chapter 13 due on Monday also. Afterwards we had a consultation with our teacher about what our final project would be about, we decided on cultural patrimony, who has the rights to own cultural property, some one who buys it, the government, or the culture it belongs to. It will be interest to work on for the next couple of weeks. Then Nikita and I went on an adventure in the hail! Yes I said hail, we had tons of it today, rather strange. We went looking for this vegetarian restaurant in a back alley in Peru. I have my father's excellent navigation skills so I was able to find our way there after a taxi driver dropped us of on the wrong street. I got this really tasty veggie burger made out of beans. It had guacamole, cilantro, lettuce, tomato, and cheese on the burger too. There were these weird french fries that are kind of like the crispy things you get at chinese places that came with more guacamole. Then we walked down the street and stopped at a fancy chocolate bar where we got tiny chocolates. They were delicious. We went to this huge market with a bunch of other girls to look for presents for our families and friends. I got my mom a sweater and my dad a vest. It was really fun and we walked around forever. I also got to work on my bargaining skills. I started to feel really bad though, like my stomach was being twisted into knots. Finally we got a taxi home and right when we got in the door I went straight to the bathroom. Something in that sandwich was not settling well with my stomach. I stayed in there for a while and when I got out my host mom made me drink chamomile tea. Then I went to the store downstairs and bought alka seltzer and a sprite. I was feeling really bad. Also my host mom told me she could have gotten the things I bought for half the price, guess my bargaining skills need some work. I thought I had done so well too. haha oh well. I got in bed and skyped Jamie and talked with guy Jamie on facebook. Then I did some reading for class and now I am about to go to bed since I have to have my yellow fever shot tomorrow.
