Today we took an all day tour to Cumbe Mayo 20 km outside of Cajamarca. Here there are huge volcanic rock formations that have been preserved by the Peruvians. We hiked through the rocks and over a few for a total of 6 km. Needless to say we were very tired by the time we returned to school.
This evening, students are attending a farewell party in their honor. The host families have put together a wonderful evening for the kids including pizza, dancing, and a dj. It should be an excellent time for the students to say goodbye to all of the new friendships they have developed at Davy College.
Tomorrow we head to Cuzco and we will be visiting Machu Picchu on Sunday. Our return trip to the States begins Monday and we should arrive in Cincinnati Tuesday afternoon. It has been a wonderful adventure here in Peru, and several students are not quite ready to return to their normal lives. However, even with our short time here, we have all definitely developed memories that will last a lifetime.
