Everything here has been going really well. As things start to come to an end, I realize how much I have done yet I still have so much to do. Crazy that in three weeks I will be boarding a plane to return to the USA. Its been great but I am ready to finish up what I have scheduled and then get home.

The clinic has been great. I have been giving shots, cleaning wounds, taking vitals, and doing everything that I wanted to do here in a clinic. So I must say that I have been really lucky with that. The childrens clinic has also been great as I learn to appreciate what I have been given more and more. Bartending is going great. Although I get yelled at a lot cause I dont know much, I still have a great time and enjoy meeting people from all over the world. No better place to do it.

So if you havent heard, I got accepted to Adventures Cross-Country as a job for this summer. I will be leading two trips, both filled with 20 or so high school students and I will be taking them to Costa Rica. We will be learning spanish, working with the people, learning to surf and saving sea turtles. Pretty lucky to get the position and really excited about it.

This Sunday was probably one of the coolest experiences I have had thus far. I got invited by the host dad to play with his team in a small pueblo outside Cuzco. I thought it was just a regular club team but it was much more. It turned out that our team consisted of all ex-players of Cienciano, the club team here in Cuzco. They had been invited by the city as the main event for their city fair that they hold once a year. It was crazy that we showed up to a field on top of the hill (had to chase the ball when it went behind the goal) and over 100 people were watching. People were taking pictures of these guys and all sorts of stuff, just like celebrities. Its like the ex-mariners or ex-seahawks players came and played in a small town and we all got to watch and have autographs afterwards. It was super unreal. I got to play the entire time (although the altitude still makes it tough to run) so that was cool. Then we went into town and were treated to dinner and drinks. Had a really good time with all the guys and was really surprised about what it turned into. Felt like I used to play for the team.

So thats about it for now. Going to be doing some local tourist stuff this next week. Then on the 22nd I leave for a 5 day trek, last day arriving in Machu Picchu. Then leave the next day for Puno, Arequipa and finally Lima. Crazy to think that I have 3 weeks left yet so much to do. Hope all is well and cant wait to see everyone soon
