Group Has Arrived, Tummies Full Already

Hello Parents,
I just spoke with Jennifer Klein, our instructor and former SMA faculty, and Adela Arenas, our country director, and they were having a huge buffet lunch and celebrating Samantha's birthday at Geranio's, our favorite lunch spot in the Sacred Valley. The food they are enjoying includes ají de gallina, papas a la huancaína, choclo con queso, chicharrón and other Peruvian classics. After arriving mid-day in Cusco, the group spent some time exploring Cusco's main plaza, before dropping altitude and entering the lush Sacred Valley, where they will spend their program. Since they are working on very few hours of sleep at this point, we're going to get them all to bed early for a big start tomorrow. We are thrilled to be working with this wonderful group of students, along with  Celsa and Martha and Corey, and expect big things from them!

It all sounds great! I hope Walker is eating some of the Peruvian classics and not subsisting on the pop-tarts in his back pack :-) Missing my boy but know they're all having the best time.
