Almost every day when I get into the car, I thank God.  It was bearable, and helpful for losing weight, when we had no car, but it sure is lovely to zip around town in a motorized fashion.  We had a big surprise donation over a year ago and I thank God for those people who sort-of bought this car.  It makes life much, much easier and frees up our time for other things.  One day last week Will took the car to Cusco and three kids decided to stay and play at a friend’s house, so Sarah and I walked up together.  It took us nearly an hour to get home from school.  We were glad there was a lovely breeze blowing, but we still perspired a little.  I only took pictures of the scenic parts!

With the rains starting again, things are greening up

Break number ???

The red flowering tree in the center of this photo is a favorite among local parrots.

Smiling because we made it to the shade.

View of the hospital and a broken eucalyptus branch. Strong winds have wreaked havoc on the hill.

A little flushed, but we made it to the gate

Celebration faces!
