Days 19 and 20- July 14th and 15th



Hi everybody, this is Caroline M. We are currently at Almudena's house in Lima and are leaving for the airport in about 45 minutes. Yesterday we left from the hotel and went to Casa Luna, which is the house of one of Sra. Viacava's friends. The house has a nativity museum connected to it. After walking around the museum for a bit, we ate a 3 course lunch in their house. Then we left for the Kuczinsky's house in Ceneguilla. When we arrived, we had a quick tour and some time to settle in before Mr. Kuckinsky and Padre Jose from Manchay gave us a lecture about the Peruvian economy followed by dinnner, where we had roast chicken, suckling pig, and a lot of dessert. We spent the night at the Kuczinsky's, and then we left the next morning for the school in Manchay, which is one of Peru's most impoverished communities. A pair of people were each assigned to a different section of the first grade, and acted as "teachers of the day." The kids were very excited to spend time with us; it was a very fun, busy day. When it was time for us to leave, we were all attacked with hugs and begged not to leave. Then we left Manchay to have lunch at Almudena's house, where we are right now.  We are are moments away from heading to the Lima airport.  We had a an amazing trip and can't wait to come home!
