A litle bit anxious

Halo,
I am glad to have the opportunity to write. I have been with out a day off for sometime now. The last time we had free time I was not feeling well and spent the day in my bed. Last night we had a great party to make up for Halloween. I think almost every volunteer in Peru 10 was there.
Last week I got a good look at what my future two years will be like. To be dead honest I was not that impressed. We went to the province of Lambayeque. It is a coastal province in the north. We spent the week looking at sustainable projects such as beekeeping, small animal husbandry, compost, latrine building, building efficient wood burning stoves, historical site preservation, small gardens, and for forest protection. I learned a great deal and will for sure have a opportunity to do good work. I just am not that thrilled about the dry forest. We visited the site where the Senor de Sipan was found. If you do not know who he is you really should look him up. When he was found the tomb was more decorated than King Tut.
We spent an afternoon looking at the Huascas (Ancient adobe pyramids) and there reconstruction projects. I have some great photos. I will get them up soon.
I get my site assignment next Tuesday. Needless to say I am very anxious. I really have not Idea where I am going. Pretty much it is some dry forest site in the north. Well that is all any one knows. I am ready to serve. I really enjoy training, but I would like to get started with things.
Yesterday I helped a woman from a different barrio build a cage for her Guinea pigs. I am really glad that I went. No one else there really had a clue of what they were doing. It was a really interesting experience. Their was a man there. HE actually knew about Peace Corps (this is really rare with the Peruvians). He asked a lot of questions of me when I was doing manual labor. Which I thought was weird. Maybe is it some new cultural difference I am just coming into contact. I will tell you what is a cultural difference. About an hour and a half in, while I was getting eaten alive by these what are called mosquitos, but are closer to sand flies, I looked up. The man who does not live at the house and really did not need to be there other than for social reasons was video taping me. I thought that was a little strange. Especially since after about another ten minute there where two other guys taking pictures. Why? I may never know, but you all should keep your eyes out for me in some tabloid :).
I plan to write again soon after I get my site assignment.
Hasta Luego,
Mateo
