2 Month Mark

Tomorrow marks that I have been here for 2 months. In some ways, it seems like I left Iowa just yesterday, but I am starting to get really anxious to go home (43 days left)! This weekend we didn't do too much. I got caught up on lots of homework that I didn't do while I was in Ireland. On Saturday, we went to Trujillo for the day, which was a bit of a disappointment. A lot of other students had visited the city on one of the first weekends here so they thought it was really cool but since we had already been to cooler places, it wasn't as great. We saw a church, museum of Pizzaro, and a castle. Pizzaro was actually born in Trujillo and eventually went on to discover part of South America (near Peru area). We also ate at La Troya restaurant which, other than accidentally ordering a plate of rice and rabbit meat, was pretty good. Today we had a one hour time change so now I am back to being seven hours ahead of Iowa time. I had a chance to Skype lots of friends and family which was fun. My cousin Daniel even played a song on his violin for me via Skype yesterday.
