Un Dia de Presentaciones

Yesterday we continued with the subjunctive and espressing opinions. So you could say I'm worried that the pollution in the city is affecting peoples health. In Spanish it's a little bit different because you have to change the conjugation of the verb but it's hard to remember since subjunctive is not a tense that really exist in the English language. In culture class we did something a little different we dida fill I'm the blanks for the lyrics of a song called Latinoamerica by Calle 13. I actually already had this song on my Iphone because I had heard it in my Intro to Latin American Culture class but this time I was really excited to see that I was able to translate the lyrics and understand what the song was actually saying!

 At UNIFE we had a long day. It started with a pretty interesting lecture about how the architecture of Peru has changed starting all the way back with PreIncan city's and temples. Then we even got to see some projected plans for the mall in the cliffs of costa verde to make it bigger and go all the way to the beach. After te lecture we continued with our presentations of the subjects from the book. I thought everyone did a great job especially the girls from UNIFE translating on the spot. I learned a lot and the group six was actually very helpful for my essay because they provided some extra information which I was able to use.

  Later for dinner my host mother told me I was able to invite a friend over for dinner  because they had made Chupe de camarones a Peruvian dish similar to a chowder.

It was absolutely amazing and very delicious probably one of my favorite dishes I have had this far. But at dinner the conversation was great too because I had my friend Erika there so converstion was a little easier since it wasn't all directed towards me and we had some wine and delicious dessert called salami de Choclaye which is a delicious dessert from Argentina kind if like a fudge cake with cookie bits and nuts inside.

It is moments like that dinner that'll I'll miss most.
