Internet is slow.

I'm back in Cuzco at a hotel, but the Internet is a little slow, so I can't download pictures, so I am going t call it a night pretty soon.

We are heading to the airport tomorrow and flying to the Amazon. Well spend a few days in the jungle and then fly back to Lima and then it's back to boston.

We spent the day back in the community we were in yesterday. Yesterday was spend harvesting potatoes and learning about textiles. This community does lots of weaving and they make their own yarn. I tried spinning the wool not yarn and found it really hard. After, we had a chance to do some weaving. It was also impossible to do.

Today we went back to the community and spent the morning in a classroom. After lunch, we went back to the school and dug up a huge field to make a soccer field and a volleyball court. My job was to dig holes for the soccer goal posts and for the volleyball net. We finished the whole job at about 5:30 this evening. It was a very satisfying day. I'll write more when I can post pictures because you know what they say, " a picture tells 1,000 words.

I am thinking about returning to tis small farming community to teach English for a few weeks. One of the teachers said I could stay with his family. Another teacher wants to come with me. This school is lacking in so many ways.....

Good night!

  1. Do you see any PUMA in a jungle or monkey?

  2. The jungle was amazing. We saw monkeys, caimans, birds, and tons of trees. I didn't see any pumas, but I saw jaguar poop and jaguar vomit. I even took a video of it. Seriously, I really did. I'll show the videos in class when we return to school.
