I think I have a cold, or that the last couple very dry days + air pollution in these little streets has really killed my throat. I will write a real blog soon about my first week here and Peru, the ups and downs very soon. Promise. For now just know that I am more enthusiastic about learning how to do this type of art where you work impressions into thin aluminum, creating pretty shiny three dimensional things than going out and seeing every museum and ruin in or near Cusco. I met my new art teacher and friend at funky little clothes store near where I am staying on my second day here in Cusco and put off returning to the store to learn her craft until this past Monday, when I really was in art project withdrawals. Now I love going to the shop, and having me there working on art projects means she can run out to do little errands... So I think it works out well for her too. Today when the sun was shining down on me through the skylight and Fiona Apple singing Across the Universe was playing from the store cd player... I was extatic about doing exactly what I should be doing and the exact time, travel can make you feel like you need to be going out and seeing everything constantly... but today all I want and need is to finish the replica of the aztec gold frog pendent I saw when I was in Mexico.
And again, where my Spanish is weak, my Art is strong.
More soon. Promise. Feeling a bit too sick/out of it to write more about what I have been doing here.
