Another trip to South America, this time Peru

Next we headed off to Peru to do HBB and HMS training. Again we had a great little group traveling to do training with us. We first went to Huacho which is on the coast.

 The food is very good in Peru. We just avoid raw produce and water. 
 Our team included Elder and Sister Henrie. They did so much to make this a success. 
 We saw a man doing knife sharpening on his little mobile work station. 

 Next we flew to Cajamarca. It is at 9000 feet elevation. Cajamarca is a beautiful city known for its cheese and dairy products. 

 Many of the women in Cajamarca wear these hats. 


 The training again went very well. The participants and the team were so good to work with. 
 Before flying out we had time do some looking around. We climbed the stairs up the mountain and there were great views of the valley.

 We visited the place where the Inca ruler filled a room with gold and silver for the Spaniards. They however killed him anyway. 
 This was taken in an old maternity hospital now a museum. Woman stayed in this cubicle. They hold onto the rope when delivering while standing up. 
 There was a mummified baby in a pot. 


 Cajamarca is a wonderful city with nice people. They are famous also for the long horns that they use. I found a nativity with one in it.
