Some photos...but they take sooo long to load!

Isak, my favorite second grader! Never seen him without that grin on his face

Harvesting corn in the chacra with my grandma...(the lady laying down by the red sack), her sister (the lady next to her), my host mom (blue shirt), and the people hired to help out with the "cosecha"

Swine Flu

It has been determined that swine flu thrives in cold places, and thus all children in town have been prohibited from consuming popsicles. HA!

La Granja Porcon

La Granja Porcon is a coop community outside Cajamarca that attracts many tourists (mainly for its zoo).  Its inhabitants do not pay for food, electricity or water.  Most dedicate themselves to weaving, carpentry, and the production of dairy products.  They still dress very traditionally and are strict Evangelicals.  There is no alcohol or dancing allowed in Porcon.  I went to visit last month.  Here are some photos:

Dying the wool

Making fertilizer

They let you get really close to the animals in the zoo

More photos will be posted to my facebook account...
