Water World

I got soaked today! The water festival is still going on, I am told today is the last day. I hope so. I went out to get some stuff for lunch, and thought I would be ok. But no. I got soaked by a bunch of girls on the way back. They lined up across the road informs of me and smiling sweetly told me to pass. Not cool. Then this afternoon as we were heading into the plaza, we got to the end of the street and got confronted by a mob of at least 20 odd people all with buckets and cans of spray foam. As soon as they saw us they all started cheering. We turned and went the other way. From what I can tell it seems to be localized around the street I live in. Other parts of Cusco seem to be acting normal, just not my street...

Other than that, it's raining again. Seems to rain every day, I guess that's why they call it the rainy season. The course is going well, learning a lot. Got an assignment due tomorrow, not liking that part all that much. Thought I was done with assignments and homework, well not yet it seems.

Later

So you can either get hi-jacked by water bombs and spray guns, or the rain. Good luck with that!!!

Hey it could be worse. You could have arrived during the festival of 'sack of doorknobs'.That does sound like an experience - what is the deal with that???

I've missed you the past couple of weekends and I wanna know how things are going. How's your course going? A little birdie tells me you have had some assignments to do - how did you go?

Any news on the job front yet?...
