This has been an amazing trip but it always feels like we are moving. On and off the bus; on and off the train; on and off the plane. Today was no different. We went to market in Cuzco. It was fun. More shopping!!
Met back at the hotel for 9:30 to board the bus for the airport to board a plane back to Lima, to then board another bus to go to Crystal Ray to have dinner at Carmella's.
Dinner was fun. Carmella lives on the third floor of the church (the attic) and we had supper on the roof. We had a scavenger hunt for parts of dinner. We were given money and sent out into the community to buy one part of supper and use our Spanish. It was interesting communicating with the locals. Body language is used a lot in communication when you don't share the same language. Dinner was successfully bought and prepared. The sweet potato casserole and the salad were my favourites.
Vino blancho and vino tinto were shared, along with mojito's. Everything was delicious.
We had our debrief on the roof after supper. We talked about CLWR and its work (I'll share more in another Blog). Carmella also shared her most recent Blog entry. She has a very descriptive writing style. It was nice to listen too.
Once dinner and the discussion was over, we went downstairs to wait for the bus. We met a group of men from multi denominations, who were meeting to discuss homosexuality and the church. I didn't have much opportunity to talk to them but some of the group did and it sounded interesting. Even though homosexuality isn't really talked about in the communities, Peru seems to be more advanced and the Lutheran church's more excepting; even having openly homosexual pastors.
On that note, I'll sign off. Feels nice that we have three nights to sleep in the same place and have all our belongings.
Night from Lima, Peru.
