Miercoles al colegio

Wednesday in class with Andres we learned a lot about agreeing with opinions and how we need to use different phrases of agreement depending on how the original opinion was presented. For if the opinion started with "Creo que" then you could respond with "Yo tambien lo creo". It was a little strange at first because I was having trouble relating it to how we speak in the English language but then I realized that it is the same because if someone stated their opinion saying "I believe" or "I think" you would return with a response matching the way they presented their opinion. After I figured that out it was a little easier for me. In culture class Wednesday we finally started on the Incan civilization. We on;y had time to just start on the topic but during that time we learned mainly the geography of the Incan empire and how they spread from Chile to Ecuador but were never able to spread into the jungle because they didn't have the resources to survive there. Also I learned how the king of the empire was called the "Inca" and the people of the Incan culture believed that he was closer to the gods.

  After classes we once again headed to the Air Force School and got to talk to the kids and teach them in English . Many of the kids were really interested in fast food of America because they thought that fast food is all we have to eat which is a little sad but true. I told them that we do have some different things depending on where you live like clam chowder in New England but when in came to Buffalo talking about chicken wings didn't help my case against fast food in America. After teaching English we headed back to the library to learn about the Independence of Peru. We got to do all types of activities with the kids like making a flag and a word scramble. It was a really fun way to learn and a nice change of pace.

 After the lesson came the fun part. We had some free time to go play sports with the kids. There were two groups the soccer group and a volleyball group. I went to the volleyball group because I'm not a huge fan of soccer which is crazy in Peru. But we still had a lot of fun and we got to teach our professor how to throw a frisbee it was great! I hope we get another time to do this this because its a once in a life time experience that was great fun!
