Fun Facts ...

So I have some fun little tid bits of info that I thought some of you would enjoy

(1) A dog lives on top of our roof at home: Here in Peru, most of the people dont have yards so a lot of the dogs live on the roof. At our house there is a tiny little white dog that lives on our roof (actually it is about 20 feet of space b/c the house is open and so the roof is divided into several parts). However, I have the pleasure of having the room right below the dog. So ... as a result of this, I get to go to sleep to the sound of little toe nails clicking above me as our little dog walks around on top of the roof. I have also heard several dog/cat fights late at night and that has definitely been pretty fun.

(2) To make transportation cheaper, Peru has collectivos. A collectivo is a taxi that 7 different people ride in together but only have to pay one sol (which is about 30 cents). So every Tuesday and Thursday I take a collectivo out to Arevelo to work with the children b/c it is about a 20 minute ride. Everyday I have no idea who is going to get into the collectivo so it is kind of an adventure to see who is going to pile into the collectivo next to me. It is pretty packed b/c Peruvians try to get 7 people into a regular size car so it is kind of weird getting squished up against some stranger but you learn to get use it.
