So I said I'd write again after we were back stateside. I got horribly sick in Lima, so I was more than ready to be home. Nonetheless, it was a good trip.
My favorite things about Peru:
1. People - The kids are so sweet. When we visit, finally they are able to enjoy the attention they usually don't get. They enjoy small things. Playing jump rope, hitting around a volleyball, and just letting them sit on your lap. They just want to be hugged. And the adults are so gracious and fun to spend time with. I got to know a few of the women a little bit better this year and I really enjoyed our conversations.
2. Coffee - Breakfasts at our hostel were pretty good. The coffee was wonderful. They served straight espresso in small pitchers and brought out hot water in big pitchers, so you can mix your own strength. Yummm!
3. Weather - It isn't over 80 degrees there. Point blank.
The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the massive amounts of deep fried food, as demonstrated by my getting sick all day on Saturday.
Thanks again to everyone who supported me for this trip. You really helped some cool things happen, and our whole team, and the people in Peru, are deeply grateful.
Bendiciones a todos.
Here's the link to my Photobucket album. I didn't take that many pictures (under 400), and I didn't get any of me teaching or translating, but there are some pretty cute kiddos. :)
