We had our final rotary trip last week, in a city called Ica. We went sandboarding on the giant dunes (I was a bit scared to do it but I'm glad I did in the end) and road buggies over the dunes which was awesome and when I eventually come back to Peru, I'd like to do it again. We also took some boats to go around these islands that had sea lions and penguins. I felt a little dizzy/seasick from this part of the trip haha. During this trip we also had a big rotary conference.
I got back from that trip a little under a week ago, I think. Since then I have been compiling a list (and checking things off that list) of things I want to do and places I want to go before I leave. My days are busy and tiring but I don't want to waste any time now that I'm down to weeks. I can't believe I'm down to weeks. I bought a second suitcase a few days ago to haul some of the things I've accumulated over the year (and I'm going to bring back lots of gifts!)
Yesterday we had a Rotary Despedida (going away event for all the exchange students). I made this video to present: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yhw7xEBpyfY
However there were so many acts that the students did (dances, songs) and they took such a long time that we didn't end up having time for my video....bummer. It's been on youtube for like a day or two and it already has like 140 views. So that's cool!

Today for lunch I went with a bunch of exchange students to Chili's to say goodbye to a girl named Mandy who is leaving on Sunday. It was a nice day.
That's all I have for the moment, sorry nothing else comes to mind!
Lots of love
