The last day was pretty uneventful, a very chill one to get our thoughts in order and stuff together. Maya, Margaret and I decided to go on an artisan adventure where I ended up purchasing a beautiful hand-crafted ring of a turquoise type origin. Maya, on the otherhand, purchased a baby-alpaca sweater. No animals were harmed in the making though. Hopefully.
Midday, though, was the best part of the day. My first motorcycle ride. Don't tell mom! (But really, hey mom. Know you're reading this too.) Juan, one of the hostel leader/owner/people over here took me down to the beach, only about 5 blocks away on his motorcycle. I'm addicted now! Seeing the city on the back of a bike is amazing, and so much fun!! I may have to get one of my own now. Once we got back though, things took a turn for the worst. Sancho is lost! Everybody, please cross your fingers for him. Some not so nice surfers tried to capture him and he ran away. He's a tough street dog though.
Tonight we had a final dinner at a Krishna restaurant where I actually had a veggie burger and fries. I know, very American. But hey, I don't know my food situtaiton for the next month so I was just planning. And for dessert? Pisco sours! Its a mix of lime, egg white and sugar. I guess the only way I like egg is in my alchohol! They were really good though as everyone made a sample.
It is really sad/exciting to be leaving. I'm sad to leave all my new friends, but so excited to make new ones! So excited for everything I'm about to learn, not only about agriculture but about myself. With a month without much access to internet I'll be absent but DON"T WORRY READERS. I'll be back soon with many stories of llama adventures and Incan ruins.
Besos!
Bonus pic of Emily sleeping over our many readings. Very interesting, but very long!
What a fantastic adventure!
