Living in the Andes

I know I have a lot of catching up to do but for now, here are a few photos from the small town of Vicos located in the Cordillera Blanca of the Andes. We stayed here for four days, learning about the culture, hiking, volunteering and eating a lot of food. Life here is simple and it is beautiful. All of the men and women wear the clothing you see in the group picture and live happy wholesome lives. We helped build a stove with adobe bricks and mud, hiked to 15,000 feet to a glacier fed lake, visited with some lamas in the meadow, danced to the beat of a drum and flute, ate a lot of potatoes and soup and saw amazing views in every direction. There are many more details of course, but for now I will let the photos speak for themselves.
