Thursday Morning
Hey its Mary Rae even though its Thursday I’m going to talk about
yesterday. So yesterday Blair and i got up around 7:30, had a really
good breakfast of pancakes and tea with our homestay family. Then we
walked to the school for work. We’ve been working on improving the
kitchen at the school. So yesterday we plastered the outside. It was
pretty hard work. We have to make the plaster ourselves, so we would
get some of the mix from the bag and then go into the house and fill
the bucket of mix with water. After we finished work Blair and I went
home to eat lunch. Afterwords we came back to the school and split up
into groups of five. Five of us went on a hike, and the other five
weaved baskets. I went on the hike, and it was really beautiful.
Truthfully it was more of a walk. We just walked along the road for a
while and then we went on this side path, where on the left there was
a cliff and at the bottom was the river. Then on the right there were
peoples farms. We encountered about 5 bulls on our path and had to
walk around them. Our hike ended at the Incan ruins were we walked
around and ate snacks. The ruins were so beautiful! The food here is
also really good, everything is made from scratch, and we get tea at
every meal which is my favorite part. The only bad thing about the
food is that we get served huge portions and its rude not to finish,
and you feel pretty sick after your done. But i love it here
everything is so beautiful.
