Beginnings in Cusco!

Hi everyone! Asia did a good job of talking about the work we've been doing, so here are just some pictures from what we've been doing since we got to Peru.



The past week, we went around Cusco with the Urubamba group. Here are pictures from Cristo Blanco and some Cusco ruins. The view from Cristo Blanco is incredible - you can see the entire city.



Walking around the ruins was amusingly tiring because of the altitude, but the scenery was amazing. We also went on this legit rock slide.














Below is the Cusco group forming "Cusco," minus Neby, who refused to get in the picture .. ^^ Here we are again on our way to our first day of work, looking very excited! Again minus Neby, who was unfortunately sick at the time.











Happy Birthday to Niloy! We built an alacena in a house full of super cute cuys. The village we work in is very picturesque, and everyone is really nice. The large corn is called choclo, which we got as a gift from the woman we built the alacena for.









Finally, here are some pictures from the museos Jordan, Neil, Detti and I went to yesterday: Regional History, Contemporary Art, and Chocolate -- yep, a chocolate museum!











Tomorrow we'll be going out for ceviche, so expect some excited posts about that. This weekend, some of us will also go shopping in Molino, and then all of us will go to Urubamba to hang out and have a bonfire.

Thanks for reading!
