Sometimes it’s just nice to go out of town, at least that’s the case for me. I’ve always enjoyed going out of town for the weekend in the States and I feel the same way here. At times, it’s just nice to have a change of scenery and get away from what you see every single day. I guess there are some things that never change….
This past weekend I went to Cotabumbas, which is about six hours outside of Cusco. It was nice to go back after being away for a few months this winter to continue with the community health project. It was good to see all the moms and kids show up for the “reunion” on Saturday so we could continue our teaching and our relationships with the moms in this project.
I have also come to understand that there is never a dull moment here and ANYTHING can happen at any time. The last time I traveled to Cotabumbas our car broke down and we ended up staying in a little town an extra night because of it.
Well….before I left Cusco, I was told that the van was in good shape and we should be good to go for the whole trip. After rainy season the roads ended up being pretty bad, as expected. But.……we did end up breaking down on the way home. Our kind driver did end up doing a makeshift job of fixing the car after about an hour or so of work, but we ended up checking it every hour on our journey home. Thankfully we did get home at a very early hour and when we did get back to Cusco. I was so glad to be home!!!
