Day 40

This is the street in San Martín de Porres where El Alfarero (the church where I help teach English) is located. San Martín was one of the first "land invasions" (squatter camps) in Lima -- it began in the 1940s. I like that the houses are so colorful. Today was fun -- class, lunch with Elsa and Meredith, and then Meredith and I went for a run. We ran/walked on Salaverry for about an hour out to the ocean. There's an awesome view of the ocean from the cliffs at the end of the road. The weather was so beautiful today, and not too hot. We remarked that the ocean looked quite clean and had no odor from that distance. I got home in time to change and go to English class in San Martín. We took the bus there and back, but on the way back the radiator overheated in our bus, so we got a full refund, even though it had already taken us a lot of the way. We took a combi from there, and we ended up saving about 15 cents between the two of us. Awesome.
