Day 28

Before you ask. Not much happened haha, Here in Cusco it has been one thing after another so the other volunteers and I haven't really got much done. But today was a pretty productive day.

It was my last day at the school, which was kind of sad but at the same time I think I am ready to come home. I worked out in the garden as usual and was trying to get everything taken care of before I leave. We harvested our tiny crop of Beetroot, which was interesting haha. They where planted about 6 months ago, and by someone who didn't fully know what they where doing so most of them where to close together. out of a crop of 30 or so we probably only got about 10 good ones haha. But hey live and learn, and get a volunteer who has some experience haha. So they did. But now I am leaving haha. Well after we took care of the beetroot plants and gave them to the kitchen we went back into the garden, and Juan, Ivan, and myself planted a bed of onions. I showed them how to plant using a grid system, and taught them about proper spacing and seed depth. Juan was very interested and I think he learned a lot, which is good. Because it will really help to have a local person who understands what to do. After that I did what I could for the compost pile and gave everything on last water. Then it was time to do one last computer class with Simon, then it was back to the volunteer house.

Due to some bad luck we lost Heather 2 days ago because of a death in the family, and last night we lost Jo to illness. She is currently in the clinic for 2 days. Don't worry she will be fine. It was just bad timing because that meant that we only had Liz, Ivan, Simon, and myself for House Visits. Ivan had to leave for a trip to Southern Peru for a few days, and Simon was busy working with the database for the volunteer office, so that meant only Liz and I were on house visits and that wasn't enough people to do our project so we had to scrap it today. So I spent the rest of the day working on my garden logs, and my volunteer progress paperwork, so I could turn it in so the next volunteers know what I have done and am working on. I finished that around 4 or so and I had some dinner, and I watched Madagasscar 2 which reminded me a lot of the Lion King but was still a funny movie. Well that is about it. Tomorrow I pack and clean my room and apartment, and I will go on one last house visit tomorrow night. Then early Friday morning I am off to the jungle for one last adventure before I come home.
