Art Classes







Art classes have gone from being grim as you like to absolutely amazing. We have the best turn out of all the classes, it feels incredible. We're currently in the process of turning the community centre into a jungle, and last lesson we made salt dough with them. It's so good to actually be doing something productive. I love my life.

Scabby Eye Dog and Jungle Cat



My homies, they come and hang with us at work.

Feliz CumpleaƱos Andrea

My little sisters 6th birthday. Awesome party. Lots of cake. Lots of Shakira on repeat - lots. I'm overly attached to this child, I love her and plan on taking her home. I've bought another holdall in preparation.


My favourite photo in the world ever - the aftermath of Natalia getting her face smashed into a cake. Priceless.




Peru - where the elderly dance in the street.


If this doesn't warm the cockles of your heart

then it's safe to say you have no soul.

Fairytale

I lost myself in the wood. It was glorious.

Huascaran

Pretty little lake that lives way up in yonder hills, at the foot of Huascaran (highest mountain in all of that there Peru). Bluest water I ever did see.

LLAMA!


It took 5 weeks to find a llama, but when we did it had baubles on it. Fantastic news.

Yungay

Town that was completely covered by an avalanche in 1970.


Remains of a bus.


Memorial and cemetery.








I Wish I Dressed Like This..


Remember that time we accidentally crashed a Peruvian wedding..







Hot Springs




We didn't have time to trek to the larger natural springs so the tour organiser took us to an alternative spring early on Saturday morning.




Yes. That water is brown. We were apprehensinve to say the least.

Huaraz







Some of us ventured to the highlands on our first long weekend, this post is a bit delayed as the photo uploading process is somewhat limited in the desert, but better late than never.
Lots of mountains. People wear big leather hats and jazzy skirts. You can buy a bag of live guinea pigs, should it tickle your fancy.






Cocks


Tethered outside, training them to fight.

We Play Volleyball. A Lot.


Trinket Tree


Best Present Ever


Dino didn't like his shoes, so I made them better with cats and cat-trapping equipment.

We Eat Guinea Pigs.


Complete with claws and everything, these people are crazy.
