Birthday Celebrations!

My lesson plan at school yesterday did not go to...erm...plan! I thought that writing stories would take up an hour and a half but it only took half an hour. So then I was stuck with no ideas as to what to do for the next hour. Shows me that I should be prepared!!! Thankfully the planned egg and flour throwing that is apparently a tradition here did not happen because someone forgot the eggs. But when we came back from school and I was happily sitting stuffing my face with Peruvian delights one of the other volunteers decided that it would be amusing to through two and a half litres of water over me! It was okay though because I dried off in the sun. Another volunteer bought me a gorgeous cake and then we all went out for crepes in the evening. It was great. My host family also got me some presents, although the day was slightly marred by my host uncle being knocked off his motorcycle and having to go to hospital.
Today there are bus strikes which are apparently turning a bit nasty so we're not going out to school, which is generally a good thing seeing as I was supposed to be teaching multiplication of fractions, something that I don't understand at all!!
So it's looking like it's going to be a lazy day of sunbathing/ice cream eating! :D
