Hi there, it's Lizzy and Margaret. Today was beautiful. We started off the day around 9:00, with breakfast and cleaning up our rooms. Soon after, the group met up with Elder, the man who guided us on a breathtaking hike through the Incan trails. Along the way, there were a few tears, sweats, and a little blood, but by the time we arrived at the top of the Incan ruins, it was all worth it. By then, the injuries and fears had completely disintegrated and were instead replaced. The beauty of the surrounding mountains and the beaten down ruins engulfed us completely. We had time there to relax, eat lunch, and explore. There were many great group pictures, for those who made it to the top. We took the Incan trail back down which was much faster than the 2 hour hike that we had taken to the top. Tonight we're finishing up our stay in Ollantaytambo, having an early dinner. Later, we are headed back to Piscocucho for our last night with our homestay families.
We miss you Matt and Mr. Berry - there's always a spot at the back of the bus in the bro row and a place in the bro pictures. Matt, get well soon.
Shout out to Leah and the recovering Jim Sohr- Bella loves you.
And to all the other parents, we'll see you in 5 days!
Xoxo Lizzy Allen and Margaret Andrews

Hi Everyone- it is so great to hear all the news from Peru and hear about where you've been. It is making me nostalgic for the trip we took last year! I am so glad to hear the weather has cleared up and you are getting to enjoy some of the beautiful views, culture, and scenery around Ollanta.
I hope you guys enjoy your last few days with your homestay families and your trek to Machu Picchu. Please give Adela a hug from me, I love her!
I can't wait to see pictures from your service project posted on the blog when you return.
Have fun.
Ms. Tuttle
Hope you all are healthy now. Parents, there is a great article from June 26th New York Times on Machu Picchu "Lost Cities, Found Again.". Tell Lauren her family is back in USA and already went to Pei Wei.
