Group #2- farm day 2

The second day, we traded vans and exchanged members because there was a large, long hike. The hike was one hour down and two hours back. Group members were hit with altitude sickness. Two ladies had to be helped down by mules. 

The second group went to a farm that had developed their own sprinkler system. They said it was really cool and the man was very proud. It was a straight bar that looked like bike handle bars. On the ends of the bars, are bottle caps. There are holes punched in it and a sandbag to hold it down, which also increases water pressure. The man was so proud!! 

Kim stated, "the man grabbed my face a looked into my eyes and told me he hoped I had a good impression of his town and to go with God. Try to come back and remember our hospitality". As they were leaving, the man opened a bin and pulled out approx 6 potatoes to give to the group. They tried to refuse but how do you refuse such an honest gift?! So they took them and one of our Peru leaders is going to cook them for us on Saturday. 

This group had an adventure in the red van as well; there was a rock slide that they got stuck behind for two hours. We, in the white van, passed this slide as it had first started. Because they were so delayed, we had dinner at 8:00pm; Julie and I went to bed. Group #2 got home around 11:00pm.
