"Somehow you'll escape
all the waiting and staying.
You'll find the bright places
where the Boom Bands are playing."

November 11: how many casarios must we check to find the new kid?


          Friday morning Vero, Kait and I hiked up to Pete’s old site to see meet the new volunteer that’s moving in; it’s only about a two hour hike from Vero’s. When we got to Huashcao we went to Pete’s house because we didn’t actually know where the new kid was living. From there it turned into a bit of a scavenger hunt. After going to Ivan’s house we went to about 4 other houses of family members and eventually found him off in the field cutting grass with his host dad. There he was harvesting and a line of 4 gringos came walking over the hill out of nowhere….the host dad was a little surprised ha ha. We sat down in the chakra and ate the cookies and oranges we had brought to share. Ivan is part of our little volunteer cluster now, so we wanted him to feel welcomed.
