Another Week in Cusco

We had another fun week here
(the walk from our first apt to everywhere else)
But almost all the pictures I took this week won't upload
(some invalid data problem, help?)
We did some more fun things
like get jugo!
Billy with his jugo con leche - tasted kind of like mango lassi

Annie with her pineapple, mango, orange 

The jugo at San Pedro Market is the best! They have all the fruit right there, you tell them what you want and they blend it. The fruit in Peru is insane it's so good
And juice is about the only way to get vitamins here, so we're doing it in the name of good health 

We also visited two orphanages, one girls and one boys

This is Delyah 
She loved getting her picture taken, and wanted us to play outside with her forever

The girl in the middle is 13, we missed her name, but she wanted to know if we had ever been to South Korea. We told her no, but she still had a lot of questions - did we speak Korean, do we listen to Korean Pop music, etc. All the girls at the orphanage loooove South Korea which we found hilarious. 
Turns out they watch a soap opera Stairway to Heaven that is set in S. Korea. 

And finally, 
Ceviche! 

We ate at this cevivheria Dolphina and it was soo good! Who knew I could eat fish and like it?
It was fun and delicous but I couldn't eat the whole plate, the texture was a little funky. It came with sweet potato which tasted great. 

So it has been really, really fun. 
And if the internet was a little faster, and my computer a little more functioning, this post would be a little longer.
We met a man named Duane who comes down every summer to volunteer. He was excited that we decided to move out here and gave us a cool quote which I'll end with.

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
- Helen Keller
