Weeks -5 and -4

Hi folks!

The last few weeks, we organized some ‘lessons in hygiene’. Some of the kids really needed them... We made a PowerPoint presentation in which we taught them three simple rules: clean your nose when necessary, don’t sneeze or cough without using your arm (we don’t want their hands to be full of bacteria either) and don’t sneeze or cough in other people’s faces. It would be nice if they at least learned the last one :p

Seeing that time is closing in on us, the next couple of weeks we are going to try to spend as much time with the kids as possible. Saying goodbye will probably not be a fun job…

 

 

 

By the way, here you can see the movie we showed the kids in order to illustrate our presentation.

 

As some of you may already know, we saved our visits to the Inca sites and museums in and around Cusco for last. Last Friday, we bought a 10-day tourist ticket with which you can visit the most important things in Cusco. Yesterday, we started our tour. We took a bus to Tambomachay and then walked our way back down to Cusco (11km), visiting the Inca sites of Pukapukara, Qenq’o and Saqsayhuamán on the way. Especially the last one was worth the while. In the morning we had quite some rain but, as usual, in the afternoon the sun came out and we even got a bit of a sunburn :)

 

 

 

The walk down to Cusco was really beautiful. We crossed a lot of open fields and woods, and even encountered some horses suffering from a severe identity crisis. Maybe they wanted to be able to produce cow’s milk? Who knows.

 

Whatever we thought we would encounter on the trip, we definitely didn’t expect to find Jesus along the way. He was probably tired of hanging around Rio de Janeiro and decided he needed a change of location.

 

That's all, folks!

P.S. We returned to the hairdresser’s last week, and this time we each had to pay only €2.5.
