This past week has been a lot of prep work for the group that is now here
They are a fun group of high schoolers and it should be a great week
So these are mostly photos that didn't make it to the previous post
Cuy farm - these guinea pigs are destined for dinner
So last week we went to the community Amaru and it was amazing
(if you are planning on going to Peru, talk to us before - we have really awesome things for you to do!)
They welcomed us with loud music, the Peruvian version of a lei, and covering us in flower petals
These guys played for hours without stopping
we were especially impressed with the guy playing the flute
Then they dressed us up in traditional outfits
He fit right in
And we had a dance party with the locals for about an hour
It was a blast and hilarious
Milking the cow
2 day old calf wandering through the quinoa
Gregorio showing Billy how they harvest
All the women sat weaving bracelets, table cloths, etc.
This three year old fit right in
And even though it looks like she's dressed up in costume, this is what the women wear every day
Lunch in Pisac
We bought the fam a chocolate cake to say goodbye
June!
June is party month in Cusco and we are so lucky to be here now
Everyday there is a parade, dance contests, live loud music, and huge crowds celebrating. It is so fun everyday.
We only have two weeks left - and it is bittersweet! We'll be sad to leave Peru and happy to be in the USA
And finally, a video of us having fun!
Daaaang! So cool! Those families are so lucky to have you guys.
