Well, we're back at the apartment after our first full day in Cuzco. Today Austin worked in the clinic (which is just a half-block from the apartment where we're staying), and I hung out with the doctor's wife and three daughters. We went to visit the lady who has the five baby lambs and watched her bottle feed them. She also has four children, two pigs (one is pregnant), a little kitty cat, several large chickens, and a half-dozen little baby chicks. The girls had so much fun playing with all the baby animals. I made friends with a baby chicken who took a liking to standing on my foot. After lunch (we eat lunch with the whole family every day -- it's the big meal), Austin and I climbed up the mountain behind the house with the two older daughters and their neighbors, a little girl who is about 8 and a little boy who is about 5 or 6. Of course my Spanish is...not so good, but we had a lot of fun with them.
According to Austin, here is the Spanish phrase of the day: "Toma un photo!", spoken by the little neighbor boy (pictured above) who loved smiling for the camera among the Incan ruins and his friends. His biggest smiles came when he looked at the pictures of himself -- so exciting!
