Wow already a week!

It is hard to believe we have already been here for a week. We are having an amazing time sorry we have not posted in a few days we have been very busy and been going to bed very early because it gets dark here around 6 so bed last night was 9. Kelly got up this morning at 6:30 and bought our family pan (bread) for the day. The food really has been amazing our mom (Alicia) is an AMAZING cook. Our most exciting adventure thus far has been sneaking into the Incan ruins (Fortelsa) with our host family. We told them we wanted to walk up the ruins that were free and they insisted we would sneak into the ruins that millions of tourist a year pay for during the day. So we went on about a 3 and half hour adventure and made it to the top of the ruins after jumping over the river (very scary with my knee), walking through several fields of goats, donkeys, llamas, sheep and many other animals. The view from the top was absolutely amazing we took a ton of pictures! We did not have a problem getting into the ruins it was on our way out that got slightly scary...because the policia soon realized we had not paid because our house dog came with us so that gave it away...but our mom and sister just told us not to look and walk rapido rapido (fast,fast) so we made it out safely without being deported. My favorite food here this far has been Alicia's panqueques (pancakes) WOW amazing...she promised me the recipe before we left. We have been doing a lot of observing in the clinic today but they have started to let us take blood pressure, weight, pulse and temperature. Spanish classes have started and they are going really well...easy for Kelly but definitely a great review for me! Our teacher (Ernesto) is from Spain so he has a very strong accent but he is very helpful and leaving the classes up to us. I need to study but there really is not much time. Kelly and I went on a great hour or so walk after our class today and found more amazing views to see. We have to be at dinner in about 15 so we have to go we also have movie night tonight we are watching Invictus to get ready for the world cup which is big here! Love and miss you all!!! We are going to Patacancha on Saturday for a day hike! We are also starting to plan our trips for the weekend! Dad do NOT worry we found guys to go with us so we will be safe!!
