We had some students from Abilene Christian University with us this last week.

This is the view from the bell tower in the town plaza.

The ACU Study Abroad group.

Last weekend David (our son) had noticed the door to the tower was unlocked and so he had sneaked up to take some pictures. We are all wanting to get inside that tower. He did not stay long because he was worried someone would lock the door behind him. While I was walking the group through town on a small Curahuasi tour, we heard the bells ringing. Harland, being inspired by David’s daring decided we should get up there too. But instead of sneaking, we talked to the people ringing the bell, and they said go ahead, just remember to close the door behind you.

Finishing their visit in the cafe as election results slowly came. I think we all went to bed and waited for find out the results in the morning.

They were an entertaining group of young women with one lonely young man. Their sponsors were El Profesor Harland Rall and his esposa Katherine. These students are spending a semester in Montevideo, Uruguay with ACU’s study abroad program. During their semester they had a chance to visit Macchu Picchu, and since we are just a couple hours away, they came for a visit. We were blessed. I was all smiles watching Annie and Sarah dance in the kitchen with a bunch of crazy college girls, while Harland tried his best to keep everyone on time and under some bit of control. We showed them some of the sights of Curahuasi, and then they helped in the school with some games and conversation in the English language classes.
