I hope you enjoy these photos.  I plan to share many more on upcoming blogs.  I simply want to honor you all who followed my journey last year and since I can’t sit down with all of you (!) I wanted you to see some of what I saw.
Enjoy! 
With Love,
Meredith

This wall constituted our only shade until a few weeks in when we set up a huge tent.

So that was Chincha Peru is the smallest sense.  We lived in our tents–5 weeks in a flea infested desert.  Took bucket showers, hand washed clothes, lead children’s camps, befriended the locals, paid about 27 cents for a soda or ice-cream, spent afternoons in homes made with sticks and tarp roofing, brought in an exterminator, worshipped loudly, cried, had extreme initiation into community, and loved it all.
Look for Photo Gallery 2: Northern Peru Coming Soon!
