I wrote a lot last night, which I will upload as soon as I find CD-RW's. In the meantime, here are some pictures, but I don't know if the links will work, and you might need an ofoto account to see them:

As a brief update, however, yesterday I met with Lily La Torre of Racimos de Ungurahui, and they want me to work with them! And maybe do a documentary on another gas project in Northern Peru, involving Oxy! This is all very exciting to me, because now I will have more of a routine, and I will learn within a more structured environment about how civil society in Peru works. Also, this Lily woman is magical, so I'm sure I will learn a lot just being in her immediate radius. Now I just have to tell Fulbright that I'm changing my project, which should go over pretty smoothly, unless I've been misled this whole time.
In other news, I'm kind of feeling like I want roommates, but it would mean moving out of my apartment. And also it wouldn't solve the drumming space issue (because I cannot continue to drum at Hard Head, the vibe is seriously plummeting). But we'll see. I'm just craving more interaction, and that's the best way to get it.
