I'm really sorry but I don't have really a lot of time to write a really long entry. The mostimportend stuff is just the Interprogprogramm which will be at the and of my text. As I arrived in Lima I was so terribel afraid that nobody picks me up. But Jesy was there with here parents and I was so happy. I slept two nights in their house and went than to the hostel where I met the rest of my travelgroup. We fallowed the Intersprogprogram. What I just like to add is that I was more or less two of the for weeks sick. It started in Huacachina and ended somewhen in Cousco but now I'm healthy again. Yes it was really a great time and I learnd a lot about the country and myself. It was a great trip. If you wanna know more about the trip, I look forward to get an e-mail from you where I will answer the questions if you have some. And here is the program: 21 June An early arrival into Lima, capital city of Peru.
