Some of us at the Chiclayo airport just after arrival this morning.
Huge double decker bus that will take us over the Andes.
The western side of the Andes looks a lot like home, vegetation wise.
Lunch!
I had chicken. It tasted like chicken.
Leslie estas haciendo una peepee.
Behind the restaurant there are chicken coops and Emily is going to say hello to the turkeys.
There were goats EVERYWHERE. Greg has a new friend. He's feeding them fried banana chips.
The Eastern side of the Andes is very dry.
Don't worry. They made him get off. The mototaxis were fun! Just as Emily Brown and I were about to take off in our taxi, some little girls jumped in with us and Marjorie sat on my lap. No picture, but they were so sweet!
The streets of Bagua. Lots of mototaxis, motorcycles, and dogs.
Dinner at the church in Bagua. They sang a welcome song- and a little girl came running up to me and hugged me and walked the rest of the way to the church with me.
Soup, lomo saltado, papas a la huancaina and the purple drink is chicha marón, made from blue corn.
Blanca, Jonathan, and Marjorie. Blanca was the one who ran up and hugged me and walked me to the church. Marjorie was the one who sat on my lap in the mototaxis.
More of the kids in Bagua.
Staircase - wild!
Our hotel is nice- we even have air conditioning. More pics when I can. I will be away from Internet for five days as we head to the mission station. Tomorrow I get to see the jungle!
Much love,
Bonnie
