For those of you who can´t speak ¨Adam-ese,¨ that last post meant that we are now nearing the end of the documentary-making, moving to Manco Capác to be near the students, and have many full stomachs.
We visited our students yesterday (a nice bike ride from the plaza de armas to the outskirts of Ica). The scenery change was amazing. Honking taxis, blurs of yellow and blue, and suspicious adolescents on the streets... and then the view of breath-taking mountains and clear blue sky. The stalks of corn are very tall, oh so tall. There are a few new buildings along the way, but most noticeably, a paved street. On the bumpy, dirt road of Avenida Manco Capác, we encounter Gloria´s husband Martine and our student Jimmy, who is in the midst of mixing concrete for his new house. To our surprise, there are some new houses that have been built by Aportes (long gone). Our students Brayahan, Alison, Jimmy, and Rocio now have concrete blocks within to sleep.
The family is doing well. Everyone is older.
Soon off to Ecuador.
