from pete's email again

Hey, here I am in Lima, again. I don´t now what I am doing here although at the time I wasn´t enjoying the mountains. The mountains are really great, I may have to climb a 6000 meter peak before I come home because its so cheap. I hooked up with victor, my boss form the pool, and am enjoying the life in tahuantinsuyo. It is a surburd of Lima and has fewer cars then lima centeral, so it is better for my health then Lima. Besides, this is the real Peru with people that don´t speak english and work hard everyday just to get by. I haven´t been able to do much since I got here as I am in and out of a perpetual because of the carbrohidrates I eat. I think, I am learning spanish from Victor´s family. It is what I do with my 4 hours a day of quality learning time. I should mention, in Abancay, I went walking in the mountains and came across a funny looking cacti. It had spikes on the bottom and a stem about 20 feet tall. Unfortunately, I touched it and now have a bit of a rash. sorry, have to go time running out.
