Welcome!

This is our humble abode for our remaining time
here in Cuzco. Don't be fooled by the glamorous
facade. This is indeed a cleverly disguised mud home.
Our neighbors to the right

Our back yard during the process of putting in a
bathroom. The massive pile of dirt coverin most of
the yard is from the digging of the septic tank.

Septic hole... still uncovered/unfinished after about
a month. AKA Tim's nemesis (hand dug, nine ft deep,
six feet wide) It is the community's responsibility to
put the approved cover on this, however, they have
more important things to do (play soccer and drink
outside our front door : ))


Our bathroom, mid-construction. We'll let you
know when it's done.....

Some sights from our travels

Some of the beautiful and rugged country we saw while
helping out with a medical team

This man is baking potatoes that are buried
under the stones. This is called pachamanka!

This thing that looks like it should have it's own
horror movie, is put up to honor god-mothers.

Lovely, isn't she?

A shepherd heading out with his trusty dogs.
I love this picture, so stark and beautiful.

A lady waiting to be attended.

Cute little girl!



We found a friendly little burro that the boys
enjoyed very much indeed.
