We are sorry for the pause in the blog action; the last couple of days have been quite busy. All is well in Peru! We had our final day and night in Ollantaytambo on Friday. Our time there culminated in a wonderful dinner and dance party at El Tambo with our host families. After a delicious meal, we had the pleasure of watching Fanny and Luis perform the Marinera dance. Soon afterwards, the dance floor opened up for all to join. It was a memorable night!
On Saturday morning, we left early by bus for Cusco and spent the day touring the city. Sadly, we had to part ways with one of our leaders, Molly Belsky, in Cusco. She is staying there to work in orphanage for the next 3 weeks. She will be missed! In the late afternoon we flew to Lima, and, after checking in to the hotel last night, we had a group dinner at a local restaurant (roasted chicken and french fries).
Today was a great day! We went to see the government palace in downtown Lima in the morning (pic below) and then headed to beach in the afternoon at the Regatas Club. For many, it was their first time swimming in the Pacific Ocean. We are now back at the hotel after having had "Chifa" for dinner, which is a mix of Chinese and Peruvian food. In the morning, we will have some free time to explore Lima before lunch at 1:00. More pics and news coming tomorrow- we are back on track. Along with being a beloved addition to the group- the recently departed Molly was also our head blog organizer :).
