Well we currently have two weeks to go so we are trying to pack in all of our final adventures. Last night we brought our host family out to dinner, kids and all, which to say the least was interesting.
Kara is spending her last day in Chocco today, finalizing some loose ends on her project. We gained valuable insight into the development world. We learned a great deal about their culture, education and the role it plays in a small community such as Chocco. I think we can say that we are pretty satisfied with the work that we have done here.
Tomorrow we take a bus to Oyantaytambo where we will do a short 5 hr hike before hopping the train to Aguas Caliente, which is the town at the base of Machu Pichu. The following day we will explore Machu Pichu and take the last train back to Cusco. With the remaining time left we are going to go as fast as possible back down to Santiago, Chile. Then, go to Mendoza, Argentina for the remaining few days we have left. We have chosen this path because we have only gotten the chance to see the Patagonia part of Argentina and Mendoza has come so highly recomended to us. On our way down from Cusco we´ll stop in Arica, the northern most town of Chile by the Peruvian border for a couple days before getting back on the bus for Santiago.
We look forward to making a full circle, ending in the city where we began our 5 month journey.
