We're almost finished with our work at school. Soon we hope to post pictures of the murals and tables.

Tomorrow is Machu Pichu!

Last night, an author spoke with us about his work as a teacher with children who speak Quechuan and are learning Spanish in school. He is writing books in both languages. He read to us in Quechuan and Spanish. The stories are well known folklore among the Quechuan people. Some of us purchased books. Mrs. Ashley purchased three for the Middle School library.

We can hardly believe how fast it seems to be going now. We're having our last meal in the homes of our families. Tonight we have a community dinner at the hostel.

Some of us feel a little bit homesick, but at the same time, we wouldn't want to miss a minute of this.

We love your comments. We love you!

Hi Maddie!
Mom was kinda right, because while I do miss you a little, I'm enjoying having the house entirely back to myself, you know, so I can sing show tunes and stuff without you yelling at me. :) Looks like you're having an incredible time and I'm still super lime green jello of you (haha look at that abbrev!!) but I'm so excited for you. Can't wait to see you soon! Love you and Katherine and the rest of the gang.
