The trip from Miami to Lima was long but it felt good once we all had finally arrived in South America. Feeling tired, everyone hopped aboard another plan to Cusco where we were met by cold conditions which woke most of us up. Everybody gathered their gear (nothing was missing, luckily) and jumped on what would turn out to be a long bumpy beautiful bus ride. As we drove through Cusco I observed the obvious differences between the US and a relatively poor Peruvian city. Sanitary conditions are poor, the houses are in beat-up conditions, and the means of transportations, little compact Toyota or Honda's drove aggressively through the narrow streets. As soon as we left the limits of Cusco I realized how easy life in Bethesda is. We will truly understand how easy we have it in Bethesda when we are working in Chilaa. I am happy to be in Peru and grateful for the opportunity.
