Only a brief update since I don't have much time for my blog right now. I arrived in Cajamarca yesterday after spending one week in Lima. Cajamarca has been love at first sight! The city and especially the countryside surrounding it are incredibly beautiful and the cajamarquinos are very friendly. Everyone at Warmayllu has been particularly helpful, making me feel welcome and at home right away.
Little by little, I start to get an idea of what my work here is going to be like. This morning I went up to the San Juan de Chamis secondary school to meet my students. I made them do an exam Marisca (the former teacher and my boss) had prepared beforehand. I suppose there aren't many gringas up in San Juan de Chamis, because the kids spent more time staring at me than working out the right answers! My colleague Olga and I walked back down to Cajamarca, a two-hour walk in the mountains. I couldn't stop admiring the scenery!
There is so much to tell, but it'll all have to wait for later. I just wanted to post a few lines so you all know I'm fine. Details and photos coming up soon!

Sounds just great, I'm so happy for you to get to experience all that. And so much more in the future :)
