I got my Peru pictures back! I realized after my camera was lost how much I take for granted taking pictures (not to mention that I miss out on experiences sometimes by trying to take pictures...it really was freeing in a way being at Machu Picchu and knowing that I only have my eyes to remember this experience, so I tried to take it all in). When I bought this disposable camera, I only had 27 exposures to capture my Peruvian experience, and I was very careful with them. The next time (God willing) I get a real camera, I think I am going to be much more choosy with how I use it and not waste time and energy taking pictures that DO NOT MATTER.

Anyway, here are some pictures (I also put them all on fb):

BY FAR my favorite women from the Calca women's group, Mercedes and Antoineta (Antoineta is Mercedes' mother). They are hilarious.

My beautiful host family. This makes me miss them so much!

My little host sisters, Emily and Angela :)

My 1st grade class, Amelia, Eliana, Diana, and Juner (aren't their uniforms adorable? especially Juner's PE outfit)
