Day 10-July 5

Hello everybody, this is Caroline (Morss). This morning, we made baskets at Pancho's house. While it was really hard, we all managed to finish our baskets (or Pancho and his family did). We also managed to break a lot of the sticks that we were weaving with, but in the end we all managed to come out with a finished basket. After we finished, we got our "prize" of chocolate-covered crackers called Choko Sodas, and Peruvian marshmallows. The Argentina- Belgium game was going on while we were weaving, so when everyone had finished we watched the rest of the game at Pancho's house. Then we all went back to our host families for lunch. We returned to El Tambo at 3:00 for Quechua lessons. We learned some very useful sayings like "Your eyes are like the stars," which is "Quanmikanki ch'askañawicha,"
and "Little mama, you're the only one I love with all my heart," which is "Mamallay qanllatan munakuyki llapan sunguywan." We then met up with our friends

from Lakeside School in Seattle for a friendly soccer game. They tried to sabotage our team when they took us into the town they were staying in and made us climb a lot of stairs to get to the field. The game was Groton vs. Lakeside. Sr. Fernandez was Groton's M.V.P with a hat trick. The game was very fun even though people kept kicking the ball all the way down the hill by accident. Groton came in second place. Afterwards, we walked back to Ollantaytambo for our meeting. If we play Lakeside again, we're definitely making them come to us.
