Hola from Cusco

Hi, all! A quick note to let you know that we are back from our hike to Machu Picchu! The girls are absolutely AMAZING!!! It was very inspiring watching them hike with their 45+ pound packs while I was huffing and puffing with my (maybe) 15 pound pack. They are an incredible group of girls, each and every one of them!

I´ll let the girls update you on the hike. It was grueling at times, but everyone made it without incident. To be sure, sore legs, very sore knees even for those without knee problems, a few sunburns, and lots of very wet clothes on day 2, but we all had a great time.

There are quite a few group photos and I´ve been trying to take individual photos of the girls to send home. I may not be able to send until I get home next week.

Watching the group in action has been incredible! I´ve been able to sit through a few classes to see the teachers in action as well. Rest assured, any anxiety, homesickness for your daughter, nervousness, etc about sending your daughter away for a semester was well worth it! They are doing fantastic, and really, are a truly amazing group!

Love to all!
