just one last thing...

I just want to add a few more Chumpi Poques photos...
And that is it- no more talking about school :)

Making the decorations for the anniversary

Yovanna- in the pink shirt and blue pants, sitting on the floor

I thought this was really funny. Whenever Madalaine left the class, which was often, two girls would take a large piece of cloth, like the one they use to make their bags, only this cloth is for warmth. They would cover themselves in it, and start chatting, like they are in the their own world. 

Wilfredo, me, Yoni and Yudit. ( Me wearing Yudit's hat) :)
The hat is basically a disk, the black part on top, decorated with shiny things and threads. Then there is this piece of  cloth around it, kind of closing it in. In this case, the cloth is yellow- the cloth is the only thing separating you from the sun.

More of the school. The wall at the very left side of the picture, wrapping this cement 'thing' that looks like a window- this is what Carol built. A wall of about 1m, making kind of like a box, filling it with earth and making it flat.

    
     The road going to Poques. Once when we were going up the mountain, just next to the school, the car had to stop due to eucalyptus tree being tossed onto the road. The driver BIPPED and BIPPED but more and more trees were falling down. Finally, after waiting and waiting, he decided to go and move the trees himself. The trees were blocking the whole path way, going from the mountain ( the earth to the left) all the way across to the other side of the road. The driver tried to pull the trees to the side, but they were so long, they kept on blocking the way. More and more fell. Donkeys were passing us. They could go through. We screamed- hello?!?!?! and this man and young boy came running down. They did not hear anything. They help the driver clear the road and of we went.

                                           The whiny road going up.

                       
          People live right next to their farm, regardless if there are people living close by or not.

When I decided to 'run away' , which was delayed at the end,  I decided to walk some of the way down to Lamay. By car going up and down it is half an hour. Walking, down is a lot faster but still take 1.5 hours, 2; depending on how fast you walk. I found these small path ways, and instead of going all around the mountain like the cars do, I cut through the whole valley. Poques is up up to the right. 

                Just  when that path ended, I got to the main road. So I walked on and on.

I walked about a third of the way, when a car came and I took it down. As now is the time to put the seeds in the ground- the farmers are using bulls to make pathways.

When I got to Urubamba, this man on this three-wheel bicycle was driving around screaming on his microphone sweet pears! fresh oranges! He drives on this road from town to town, selling his fruit.
