Casa Cunco (pt.1)

Part One

WArnInG: photo overload to come!

Today's post is going to be a two part affair because I took over 100 photos! Ah! But it was such an amazing day, like out of a movie. It was our one humanitarian day. We spent the whole day in this little remote village playing with kids, painting, passing out clothes/blankets, and playing soccer. I just feel so...blessed, spoiled, and without words to be in such a place and having the experiences I'm having. I hope you feel how refreshing today was~

Started out driving through the city going yet

higher in elevation from Cusco.

~12,800 elevation= lightheaded and out of breath~

Then, we got out into the fresh air.

Soccer is everywhere here.

Lots of sheep, and for those who really know me...

I get super excited when I see pigs!
Then, our bus broke down and we got to walk to the village.

I was so happy cus I felt more appreciative of

the beautiful scenery. Unbelievably fresh air. The villagers

in Casa Cunco don't have any motor transportation, so everyday

they walk up and down this hill to wherever they need to go.

The school kids walk 2 hrs in the morning to school

in the village down the mountain,

then 3 hours back up home.

And the wildflowers were everywhere.

Grandma & mama, you two would have loved it.

Then by chance/mercy, two cars came by and offered to

drive us and our humanitarian supplies up hill.

It was so hilarious, we all piled up in the back of this

OlD truck with Peruvians who didn't speak english.

Had to sandpaper the walls before we could paint

and...it's messy!

Walking through the village this little girl just came up

and took my hands and started to twirl :)

And then all too soon it was time to walk back.
