We Are A Peruvian Attraction

So we went to the Peruvian animal zoo. It was a very eventful outing. There were many animals there like giant boas, black panther, and tons of monkeys. Not only did people take pictures with the animals while they were at the zoo but they wanted to take pictures with us. Yes… With us. It was really funny to be a main attraction at a zoo. People come face to face with a black panther about as often as they come face to face with a gringo. Now I know how the animals feel. As we were walking out of the zoo a man came to us and wanted us to do an interview about our thoughts of the park and it would play on the pucallpa tv station that night. We should be getting a disk in a few days of the interview. Us gringos are now famous. Very eventful. The next day we went swimming in a lake. Usually, lakes in the U.S. you can take your baths and showers in the lakes, but not here! The water was brownish and smelled kinda funny but we were very delighted to jump in to the sandy shored brownish lake. Very refreshing when it is 98 degrees outside with about 85 percent humidity. We start up with our classes and clinics the 19th but until then we will be studying hard an preparing all of our lessons.
