I have become more Peruvian tan I realized. During this past week everyone has been bustling about during the mornings and evenings all bundled up in long sleeves and pants. No longer is the sun beating down on us, scorching us before we even have a chance to get out of bed. Infact, the temperature has dropped enough that we are actually sleeping with blankets, instead of sweating all night. Normally there comes a slightly cold season during June; but unlike everything else in Peru, this cold weather was actually a little early. The first day this crazy weather hit we all grabbed our sweatshirts and huddled in a room with only one small window (glass on windows does not really exist here, if you are lucky you will have screens to keep the bugs out, therefore cold air can enter the house freely). There we were all bundled up, avoiding any moving air, thinking how odd it must be for Peru to have nearly freezing temperatures. Then we stumbled upon a thermometer…only to find out that the temperature was really 72 F.
