Two new Incas

One week of practical teaching and many papers and lesson plans stand between me and a TEFL certificate! I had no idea I would love this program so much, or even that I would enjoy teaching. But I do, and twice already I've been stopped on the street by shouts of ¡Hola, teacher! It's a wonderful feeling. 

As promised, here is a photo recap of the Sacred Valley.

More from PĂ­sac:


 


Moving on to Urubamba. Sorry for the awkward formatting; for some reason these photos won't center.


Andes!

At Chincero.
 

Coca tea!


Dyeing and weaving alpaca.
 
 

Dinner!


Goodnight, Sacred Valley.


I have a few more pictures I want to share from a parade that chased me home one afternoon last week, but that will have to wait for another day. I'm off to drop off my resume at schools around town. Once I have an actual post-TEFL plan, I'll let you all know, but it's very up in the air at the moment. Which is half terrifying and half exhilarating. Maybe more than half terrifying.

Happy Oktoberfest! Drink a boot for me. Although apparently there's a German restaurant in San Blas; I may have to check it out this weekend.

  1. Caramba - cool pictures!! I'm so excited for you! I wish I could visit you there - we need to travel together! In the meantime I will certainly drink an Oktoberfest boot in your honor. Here's an assignment for you: eat a guinea pig.

    I love you!
