Busy week

Finally have time to come down to a cafe after a super busy week at the rainbow center. Throughout the week we have been occupied with planning a fundraiser event that we have just finished with - a football tournament. Charging every team participating, we managed in the end to come up with 8 teams. We´ve been running around like madmen talking to locals, getting bakeries to make cakes etc. etc. It was a mild success in the end, and I suppose its more about raising awareness about special needs than the dough. Yesterday, friday, was spent with workshops at school because a travelling circus decided to pop by and give us a free showing. They were all firedancers at the Burning Man festival in San Francisco and so theyre fireshow was definetly memorable for us and kids alike. During the day they tought the kids acrobatics, juggling and other various typical circus feats. Friday also happened to be our last day at the rainbow center, so it was a fun way to end it all. Planning on coming back to say our goodbyes on thursday though, so AC has not had her intense crying session just yet.

Tomorrow morning we get picked up at 6 to start our 4 day inka trail. Essentially we hike about a marathon length on the inkas paths over the 3 days and end up in Machu Picchu on the last day. Getting back late wednesday night, having our goodbyes in school on thursday, and then its off to Galapagos. We will be going from Machu Picchu to Galapagos in a week, and AC still found the time to complain about not hitting town on wednesday night in Urubamba. To be fair, it would have been fun to say our goodbyes with this place, although I find myself unusually spoiled complaining about it. Essentially tonight will then be our very last night in Urubamba and we will therefore all be going out to a nice restaurant in a minute.

Thats all for now but will update on Machu Picchu and the trail once thats over.
