Surprisingly satisfying things- Malcorancho Edition

-Knowing your favorite clothes now smell more like soap than you
-Coming home to find your homestay experience has been drastcially upgraded thanks to a flushing toilet
-SHOWERS


Well, the past 4 days have gone by in a satisfied haze of exhaustion.  the work has been really fun, even though its hard, and I love my host family.  The Bolivian who I am working with is named Cresenzio, and he is an absolute riot.  He is always smiling and laughing even when he doesn't understand what we're saying.  It makes the stucco work go by really fast even though I'm super slow at it.

I had one really scary run in walking to work after a lunch break.  There are tons of dogs justhanging around and one came out of the bushes and attacked me.  It jumpd up on me and I got a huge scratch. Fortunatly, it had all of its shots and there was no rabies risk, but I had a huge panic attack and was really upset.  I don't really remember much of what happened, so I guess that's a silver lining.

I'll be able to write after our trek on Saturday!
