Marie is off on another adventure to the Sunflower Home near Huayllabamba, Sacred Valley of the Incas, Peru (which is a short distance from Urabamba, which is a similar distance from Cuzco, which is a 1 hour flight southeast of Lima, which is 8,000 miles southeast of Fruit Heights). She left Friday, 6/29 and won't return until Saturday, 7/11. I am guessing she will ultimately take up permanent residence there because she loves it so much. To make matters worse, a lot of the little kids, really cute disadvantaged little kids who she got attached to from the last trip, remembered her from last year. Ohh, boy. Like she needs any more encouragement.
Here is her first email.
Hello everyone
today we did wheat. first we had to hike up a huge mountain to get to the field. we gathered the wheat that was already cut and carried it down a hill and up a hill and put it in a big pile. donkeys walked on it and crushed it that was a 3 hour process then we took shovels and threw the stuff in the air too separate the wheat from the other stuff have pictures and movies.
