Site Visit Pics Part 2

finally we get to go down and my searing headache can be relieved...you can only last so long at over 5000 meters with a headache
llamaaaaaasss are everywhere
town meeting at over 5000 m...pretty standard
dinner/lunch time is clutch after 5 hour hikes
the band....yes they carried there instruments up...actually ran them up
this is just an awesome pic

en my familys chacra aka the farm
this was about 5am in the morning and we werent even a fifth of the way there
cool
finally got to the piont
this is a pic of my town in march to clean the river from the mountains which provides water to our town...about as fresh of water as you can get...they shovel the stones out of the river to increase water flow...this is why i was up so high in the snowy mountians....it was good to gain confianza with the community...aka some trust and confidence...lots more people started talking to me...however it took alll day i was out from 5am til 6pm and when we got back into town we did a march into the plaza de armas and around the plaza...and guess what...i had to lead the march with the flag...it was crazyyyyyyyyy....and if you didnt know peruvian army marches like the old hitler army does...its really weird/scary but it was funny for me to do...then while i was marching two buses with tourists pulled into my town and took pics of the march..they were probably wondering why there was a white person leading the march good times
