The week before that we spent going on tours and going to orphaneges. We went to a girl's center where we played with them and taught them toothbrushing. We also painted and what not. We put on a little program where I danced on point shoes and others did their talents. They performed some songs for us too. We also made gingerbread houses with them, which was totally foriegn to them. It was fun to see them break down the houses and try to get the most candy. We went to a handicapt center too. We helped them do some gardening type stuff, and a few of us painted tables. We also did a performance for them and gave them all hot chocolate and sweet bread.
On Sunday we went to Macchu Picchu! Our tour guide gave us a few weeks worth of history in about 45 minutes. We were all extremely bored. However, it was really neat to see the whole city. There was a lot of fog when we got there, but after her 45 minute background on the city it lifted! I will just tell you now that when I saw Wina Picchu I had serious doubts about if I really wanted to go. After our tour we climbed Wina Picchu!! The whole entire thing is stairs. By half way up I was just about to turn around and go back down. I didn't want to see another step. You might think that's a little dramatic, but if you had been there you'd know what I mean. I did end up getting to the top, but when I got there everyone was ready to go back down. Oh well I suppose! That was a really fast run down on the main points of the trip, so I hope you have fun reading it!
P.S. I felt like I was on top of the world. The view was spectacular!!!!!

Isn't Wina Picchu amazing! I'm so proud of you for making it to the top. Those stairs are a pain! But the whole place is so pretty, I'm glad you got to see it!
That's great! We wish we could have been there with you!
