Cultiva Lima!

      Another day, another dulce. Today we experienced another sweet treat, not only by new experiences but by literal sweets.
      The day started off as wonderful as it did yesterday, all 9 of us squeezing into a car that should only fit 6. It's ok though, we all love each other and don't mind invasion of personal space. We first headed to the Spanish Cultural Center that is funded by the Spanish embassy. There, Tete does some little seed and plant demonstrations to inspire people to plant gardens at their homes. Tete's baby, Cultiva Lima, does a lot of great work and this is one of the many examples. Want to know more about Cultiva Lima? Of course you do!!!

      After our stay at the cultural center, the gang ventured to a nearby girls reformatory where Cultiva Lima is also helping out. This reformatory is a juvy/orphanage for girls who are just trying to get by. To help inspire them, Cultiva Lima is working with the reformatory so the girls have something hands on to do that is both rewarding and educational. One can learn a lot from growing a garden, not only physically but emotionally. They also have guinea pigs around as little pets for now but, who knows, maybe they may be eaten one day. 
     For lunch we went to a little cafe and dined on tamales, sprouts, tomatoes, avocado, bread and a hot peruvian drink that reminded me a lot of hot chocolate. Very sweet, and VERY good. We also had some coco ice cream that was TO DIE FOR. Jaclyn can attest. She couldn't handle it. 
      And now we are back where we've ended so many nights. Since we are leaving in only two short days, we are taking it pretty easy. 

As always, besos!
