Sending a short blog now, since I have a few moments. If you do not see another blog do not be concerned, I may not get back to Maria´s for the remainder of our trip to update again.

If I have not told you there is a real working bathroom in David and Cesi´s house now! The men made a make shift door so it can be used by all. And, of course the question of the day was, "Does the water in the toilet bowl really swirl the opposite way in the southern hemisphere than in the northern hemisphere?" The answer is "Yes!"

Yesterday the men and myself were very tired. David went to the hardware store in the afternoon so we did not need to go in the evening. Yeah!!! So some of the men went to bed really early and others went to relax in the hotel sauna. We had ordered pizza delivered to the hotel.

Today is our last real day to accomplish projects at Jicamarca. Tomorrow we will only be there until noon and will finish projects started and clean up the site.

Lunch today consists of chicken, rice, potatoes and vegies. Maria is an exceptional cook and all the meals have been wonderful. She always has different sauces she makes with fruits and vegetables to put on your food. Everything is very healthy because it is all made from scratch. The men have really enjoyed filling up with this good, wholesome food. There is always a big supply of fresh rolls from the market also which we have really enjoyed, maybe a little too much!!

Wives be prepared to cook next week and get those rolling pins out! It may take the men awhile to adjust back to life in the states!!!

Must sign off as we are taking lunch to Jicamarca now. If I get a chance to update again later today I will. Our flight leaves Lima at 5:30am on Sunday so will need to be at the hotel and it bed early Saturday night.
