Day 21


This is the inside of the door of El Alfarero church in San Martin de Porres where David Block and I are teaching English classes. Tonight was the second night of teaching, and attendance doubled in the first class and grew a little in the second, which was encouraging. In language class today, we learned about home appliances, vocabulary which will come in handy when Meredith leaves for Venezuela next week and I'm home with my two Peruvian roommates. I think it'll be good, though, because it'll force me to try to use more Spanish. Another highlight of my day was finishing my book by Susan Vreeland titled "Luncheon of the Boating Party" about the famous Auguste Renoir painting.

  1. Doors are so compelling; I don't know why.

    It sounds like the book was good, correct? I loved Girl in Hyacinth Blue.
