OFF TO BRAZIL TO SEE MY DADDY

Woooo The time has finally came where I am going to head off to Brazil to see my Dad. This just proves how quickly time goes, I remember when I was in Miraflores and my Dad told me he MIGHT be coming out and I laughed at him because I didn't believe that he would actually come out.

Im all packed and just hoping that my journey goes along okay so I can be picked up by my dad and my great aunt from the airport when I arrive in rio at around 6am tomorrow.

I am getting a flight from Lima to Panama, then a connecting flight from panama to Rio, all in all its around like 12 hours on a plane i think. 12 hours seems like nothing compared to my 26 hour bus journey to Ecuador.

When I get to Brazil I'll be staying with my Aunt who lives in Rio, I haven't seen her for around 12 years maybe more so it will be nice to see her again, she still thinks of me as the 6 year old child she last saw so will be in shock when she sees a grown Tanya, with a huge tattoo and nose piercing loool.

Since the last time i wrote my blog not much has really happened, everything has been pretty much calm to be honest. Genoveva the Argentinian volunteer has left to go travelling, it was really nice having her around Son risa, it was an extra pair of hands to help me with the stuff I usually get stuck on my own doing! We'll meet up with her in Argentina as she's already offered us her house to stay in when we go there, so that will be really good.

The other night the boys got a big fright, claiming to of seen some sort of ghost with hollowed out eyes etc and a few of the boys started crying and saying that because they didn't pray that night the phantom will come and get them. The older boys started to tell one of the younger ones the ghost was under his bed so he started crying and ran up to me asking to check under his bed for the monster that is supposedly going to kill him in the night. Do you want to know what it was? A pillow case. LOL. It was so cute though, he asked me to stay in his bed and sit with him until he fell asleep to guard off any monsters that might try to hurt him. I was also made to shut all the windows by the other boys and sit with them until they also went to sleep. That was a funny night, for the kids not so much, but for me it was just so amusing. Kids just have these wild imaginations, the whole "checking under the bed for monsters" thing is something I'd only expect from kids programmes or "monsters inc", but this was all real and so funny.

Im going to wrap up the blog now, I literally need to finish cleaning my room and then ZOOM off to BRAZIL....
Speak soon lads
