Sunday we picked up the undergrads from the airport and traveled to La Molina. We went out to dinner for roasted chicken (of course) and pappas fritas. I had my first pisco sour in Peru. I also had a date Sunday night. If you want to know more about that, you'll have to ask me privately ;)
Today we started and the Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina. We got a tour of campus (I need to figure out a way to insert a slide show) and...had cuy for lunch. Cuy, my friends, is guinea pig. Yes, I ate guinea pig. Not something I will ever be ordering on my own.
We started tropical wood identification today. It's a bit frustrating due to lack of lab amenities that I'm used to, but I'll adjust. I am going to have to work my butt off tomorrow and Wednesday since I'm not going to Puerto Maldonado and I won't have access to a microscope after Wednesday afternoon.
Tomorrow we hear two lectures in the morning then more microscopy work in the afternoon. In the meantime, I have another dinner date tonight. I'll leave you with a bit of microscopy and a picture of the group at lunch. Chao!
