My trip to South America is fast becoming a reality as my ticket to Lima is booked and all necessary paperwork completed for CCS. I wont know exactly what kind of placement I will be allocated but I have been pretty adamant about working with infants and children although I wouldn't mind teaching English to older kids or even adults. We will see - but not until two weeks before I depart. Rob has pointed out that no alcohol is allowed in the volunteer house - WHAT?????
Rob has finalised the Brazil part of this amazing adventure and I will be meeting him in Rio on April 3rd. We have a varied itinerary ranging from sightseeing in Rio and Salvador, horseback riding in the wetlands of the Pantanal and ending up on the beach in Trancoso, La Bahia. It sounds amazing and will be wonderful to look forward to if I get a bit homesick [or alcohol withdrawn] in Peru.
In the meantime, my Spanish is impoving slowly - quite hard work - but at least I should be able to get around and about even if I went now.
