One week to go

Greetings traveller,
We had an epic water fight a while ago which was awesome. People then started throwing mud at eachother and really dirty water which i wasn´t up for - was still good fun though. Carnival has just passed - a festival where everyone goes a bit mental and throws water at eachother or sparys eachother with white foam. It´s officially boys against girls and the boys are particularly merciless - gangs of them were roaming the streets on Sunday looking for targets. The next most obvious targets are white people (such as myself).                       >>>>(peter throwing a water bomb at people.. haha)>>>>>>>>>>>>
 We also had a great time go-karting the other day - i took some of the older boys and then a few days later me and JD went with the even older boys and a new guy (Josh) who´s coming to stay at the home. I was zipping round the track when the manager asked me to pull over and said "Oi mate, NO professionals." I said "I´m not a professional." He said, "Well you should be." True story.I also had the opportunity to play some pro 
evolution soccer in a wee shop with some of the boys. It was great as i beat the most overly competitive boy in the world called Antonio with a last minute goal and felt compelled to celebrate wildly in the crowded shop - he took it quite well, on the surface anyway.
Haven´t been feeling too well - in fact i spent much of yesterday and today suffering from the effects of food poisoning but am now on the road to recovery. You´ve probably never seen such impressive vomiting - it was everywhere. JD and all of the boys and other interns took great care of me while i was bed ridden and all went to great effort to nurse me back to health. Abel (the pastor and house parent) even brought a TV into the room so i could watch the Royal Rumble - what a legend. I am gutted to be missing out on the Royal Rumble wrestling event we have been planning for the boys which is probably happening
 tonight - i was planning to main event. It was mentioned as a joke in the meeting we had to plan stuff but Abel loved it as he´s really into wrestling - back of the net!
Anyway, i´m heading to Lima relatively soon for the first leg of my trip back.
