Trip is over!

Hello friends!  sorry i've missed a few days, internet can be spotty down here at times, and over the weekend I didnt' have any service at all.  Thursday and Friday i spent at very rural clinics.  These clinics served poor rural communities.  Thursday, the townspeople were alerted to our clinci by microphone!  Young and old came to see the dentist, doctors and eye doctors.  Friday I started my day at an even more rural clinic in a town where their chief occupation is making adobe shingles for houses that they then sell in the city.  Half way through the day we were called to leave this clinic to assist the larger clinic that was swamped with people!  Friday evening we had a wonderful Peruvian buffet dinner at a nice restaurant at the Plaza de Armas.  There was good food, yummy pisque sours, traditional Peru music and dancers.  Several of us loved the music and joined in the dancing!  The next morning we all said our good byes which was very difficult.  We all had a such a good time and really worked well together.  We all went our seperate ways then, but 19 of us took the same tour to Machu Picchu so were able to spent a little more time together.   We toured the sacred Valley and spent the night in Agua Caliente.  Today we got up early and headed out to the bus to Machu Picchu.  It was so beautiful and awe inspiring.  We arrived back here to Cusco around 930p. Tomorrow we board our plane to Lima to spent the day sightseeing and shopping.  Then its off to the US and Home!!  See you all soon!
