Alright I’m exaggerating a bit….it had really only been
about two weeks since all 5 of us hung out.
However, coming from the world of PST where we were under each other’s
feet at all times, two weeks felt like ages :-P Jeff, Brice, Ali, Keren and I
all spent the day in Caraz. It’s probably the second biggest city in Ancash,
which doesn’t mean it’s actually that big; but it’s near Jeff and Brice’s sites
so we decided to go for a visit. We went to the market in the morning and I got
some awesome shelves made out of metal rods and woven plastic. The amusing part
was me wandering through town with a set of shelves until I could talk a
restaurant owner until letting me store them in his shop until we left that
afternoon :-) The tradeoff was that we ate lunch there. After lunch we were
done shopping and had seen most of the town, but no one was ready to go back to
site so we sat and ate ice cream on the balcony of a shop beside the plaza.
Someone got the bright idea (actually I think you can blame me for this one
:-P) for all of us to rest out chins on the balcony railing and try to take a picture.
It was a great idea until I realized neither Keren nor Jeff, the two on either
end, were taking the picture. The five of us were just sitting with our chins
on a railing for what looked like no reason at all :-P Sadly that story doesn’t
translate so well into writing, because it’s the hardest I’ve laughed in a LONG
time. Around 4:00 Keren, Ali and I caught a combi back down the main road to
our sites. That night I spent some more time organizing my room with my new
shelves. I am SO close to have things all set up that way I want. Just a few
more fruit crates…..
