Sara!? Among a throng of men’s voices outside the airport calling me to take their taxis, I hear the melodious sound of someone calling my name, someone who is expecting me. My hosts smile and greet me warmly. They take me to their home in Cusco, nestled in the Andes mountains of Peru, share a nourishing Peruvian meal with me, pour me coca tea, and care for me through conversation.
Since arriving, I have experienced so much I could share, but to start, I invite you to experience my surroundings.
From all around you, you see the Andes rising to meet the sky. From the brick buildings nestled among the mountains, colorful flags dance in the winds above you. On the street-side where you stand, dogs of every kind lay about lazily, while farm animals run past you on the street, or graze along the river. Men and women carry goods in colorful cloths on their backs, and little children ride along. You hear music floating through the air from fiestas and tiendas, and you breathe in the mountain air and earthy scents. You are in a place simply singing of God’s beauty.
Being here is an adventure, and I’m so glad God invited me!
Thank you for your prayers! Stay tuned for stories on the Incan ruins, the cuisine and culture, and, of course, my students and school!
Sights around my home. Can you find the sheep, dogs, and horses?
