The guinea pig lunch is still settling and I am here to report that it´s kind of like a very bony rabbit, but I will let Tiff give you a far better description. It was tasty and the local potatoes were also fabulous.
Yesterday after our trip into Cusco proper, Holden and I went on a little adventure to the village where we will be working. We were shown around the local community Inca ruins and once again I am lost for words describing how wonderful it was. We have a picture of Holden on a real sacrificial stone and he disappeared into a cave, partly built by the Incas, with one of our fellow volunteers. Thankfully they couldn´t get too far because legend has it that it goes all the way back to Cusco.
Tomorrow Tiff and I will take our first classes at the school. Tiff has also been put in charge of the parents group (and she thought she´d escaped the P&C) and I will also be writing the newsletter and working on the website and ¨sponsorship¨Hmmm.
It was great to see Jane (Peru´s Challenge founder) for the first time in years and I´m looking forward to working with her again.
Great to read the comments and although I´m not with the kids right now, I´m sure they will be very excited when they get to read the OG comments tomorrow. They have both been writing post cards this morning.
Until tomorrow.
ps. If anyone is logging onto our home computer on my login, please don´t. It downloads my email and I can´t get them remotely. Cheers

I do hope I'm on the kids' postcard list. I'm so impressed that you're posting your impressions virtually every day. it's my morning fix (after the cafe au lait, of course) to check out your blog. Tell Holly I'll take him caving in Mulu one day if he likes it. Keep up the good work (in all ways). And Tiff, did you really eat gippy?
Hi Tiff:
