The 4th Peruvian Style

Well a site to see tonight who needs hot dogs when you can have Inka Cola and Peruvian chicken on the mountain top of Cuzco. On our last night here in Peru the students danced the night away in their own private party in the back of hostel in Cuzco. We sat around the fire and told each other our favorite parts of the trip and as Jason, our fearless leader pointed out that everyone talked about their connections with the community. Most people point out the ruins and the food but this group pointed out their connections with the mothers, daughters, fathers, children, and of course the livestock of Chilca. Our home away from home.. where having a toilet seat was a luxury. As a teacher and as a leader on this trip it made me proud to see how this pioneer group opened their hearts to a world that has nothing to do with their lives and made it their own.

The place where we are staying is amazing. It is this beautiful family who made their money by the father who was a rock singer. He set up a sound system for the kids and as a strange surprise Spencer finally came out of his shy shell and sang and took over.. The only thing was that he got kicked out of the band he started that night... it is hard to be a rock star. We might have missed the fireworks on 2nd Ave but I feel like we created our own little independence from the world we have known our whole life.

We set sail tomorrow. We fly to Lima in the morning. We will have a bus waiting and will be taken on a 6 hour tour of Lima. There we will have our last dinner in the airport. There has been spotted a Starbucks and a Burger King so no worries they are getting nutrition. Our flight leaves late at night and we will be home in the afternoon. We look forward to seeing yo on the other side.

This has been an amazing journey for everyone. I look forward to watching The Peru mission grow for the entire student body at Ensworth....

Thank You World Leadership Program
