My day began bright and early as my friend, Marleni escorted us to the local market to do some shopping. My dad and another friend, Kay, came along. It was a beautiful morning. I loved walking among the Peruvian people and interacting with them. We ate some food from street venders, found some great deals, did some sight-seeing, and made some great memories! It's hard to put into words all the things I've taken in over the past week.
Later in the day, my friends Sarah and Kristen joined us! We did more sight-seeing and shopping. Now it's on to the final banquet. It will be difficult to say 'good-bye' to the friends I've grown close to this week.
I am ready to go home and see my family. I feel as though I've accomplished what the Lord sent me here to do. I will take the memories with me and pray that I can return again some day (hopefully with the rest of my family!).
We begin our journey home tomorrow morning as our first flight leaves at 8:50am from Cusco to Lima. We will spend the day in Lima and won't arrive in Miami until 7:30am on Monday. Mom and Dad fly out earlier, but I will hang around until my flight leaves at 1:30pm. I will finally arrive home around 6:30pm on Monday night! It will be a long journey home. . .
