Soy esparamos por las amigas

The following has been edited by me (Caleb), and is composed of emails from Liz.

We went for a drink last night with the members of UPA - they are very nice and enthusiastic about their causes. We did not do a campaign today - UPA had to cancel theirs because the vet was already committed to ASPA. ASPA had called us before we met with UPA, and we told them we already were helping with a campaign. It was too late by the time we figured out that we were, in fact, not helping out on a campaign - ASPA was too full to take us. It is okay, we really needed the day to go to the bank, to go to the supermarket (bienesimo -delicious food), and the artisan market (traditional crafts). I bought an earring, and a money belt (I need one to be safe). It is fun to barter as well - both my earring and belt were set at 15 soles, but I got them for 10 (diez) - about 4$ Canadian. We are scheduled for a campaign on Friday and Sunday of next week with UPA, and today we will call Amigos. WE also have found some numbers for ORCCAMM, so we will try to contact them, everyone say s they are still around. The guy that works nights at the hostel gave us the name of his friend who is an Australian vet in Iquitos, so we will maybe do some campaigns there as well. We hope.

The food is good, I have had pancakes for breakfast the last 2 days. Lots of potato dishes and lots of americano food if we want it. No one is sick yet, so we are happy. We met a nice girl on the plane who is from Peru but lives in Toronto now. She recommended some restaurants to us - including a vegetarian place. We bought some groceries so we do not have to eat out all the time.
