They are all worth experiencing...

Last night we ate in Barranco, where many were surprised to find that yes, Peruvians can make a delicious steak. With the beautiful scenery of water, cliffs, and a lighted up cross, it almost seemed like a separate world. I have had many such experiences here in Peru. The PPA is a town in itself; a somewhat disorganized one at that. The Inka Market is a place full of hustle and bustle. The streets are a hectic, chaotic mess which can take time to navigate and can seem like a certain death sentence. They are all worth experiencing.

Now, the two weeks are winding down and our conversations are flecked with “Oh, I’m going to miss the kids!” and “What will happen with so-and-so?” In the scheme of things, two weeks doesn’t seem like a long time, but many of us have found out it is sufficient to make life-long memories. The kids at the PPA are unforgettable. Their cute smiles and infectious laughter will stay with me for many years to come. –Allison S.
