Okay, same deal, top first: The carnival kick-off parade in the Plaza, I´m not exactly sure what or when carnival is, but from what I picked up I can´t wait.

An unnamed crumbling statue of a war hero I presume, being at battlefield where Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, and Ecuador fought off Spain sometime in the 18th Century. In the background is the 44-meter monument dedicated to the soldiers.

The town center of some Wari ruins, the culture preceding the Incas. This is the prayer and discussion center, with ancestral tombs on either side.

A picture inside the orphanage, which today I realized I hadn´t posted yet. Mess hall and dorms to the right, Foosball tables and renovation project to the left.

My Teva tan thus far, my face and arms are about the same color, maybe a bit more burned.

Sunday is more or less illustrated in the photos, the Wari ruins were the highlight, we went into some underground tombs and I squished some cactus worms with purple blood on my face in the fashion of an ancient WARI-or. Today at the orphanage we painted, even got a little on the paper, and I taught them kickball, which to my surprise they understood and loved. Things are good.
