This morning we completed the
finishing touches on the playground in Rumira. It turned out very well, and the
children at the school cannot wait to use it. Before leaving, the entire
school gathered to sing us a song to show their gratitude, to which we
responded with a rendition of “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”. After lots of hugs,
photos, and goodbyes, we boarded the bus and returned to our homestays for
lunch. At 2:30 we reconvened at El Tambo to prepare for the workshops, which we
held from 3:00-4:00. We saw lots of familiar enthusiastic faces from the
previous 2 days. Just before 5, we boarded a bus that took us to Nicholas
Asheshov’s house in Urubamba. Nicholas is a British journalist who lived in
Peru during the time period that our book Death
in the Andes is written. It was very interesting to hear his perspective
and stories, and we were all grateful for his generous hospitality.
We
embark on our overnight hike tomorrow morning, so expect our next post on Friday. The photos below show the before and after pictures of the playground.
Hasta luego,
Delaney
