Pisco, Huacachina and Ica.

as promised here are some more pictures as i try and catch up.

these are from October 24th to November 21st... or so.

as i volunteered in Pisco w/ Hands On Disaster Response.

most of city was destroyed by an earthquake in August and so we were working clearing rubble, building temporary houses, temporary classrooms, working w/ kids in ludotecas in the refugee camps and other assorted works.

had weekends away at Huacachina, a small oasis town in the nearby desert.

Huacachina and one of it's most famous residents, Marvin the monkey.

Marvin and I on our night out.

on a tuk-tuk on way to work...

the streets of Pisco. rubble, half collapsed and empty lots everywhere.

also spent five days in Ica, another nearby town, building temporary classrooms. these are some of locals kids that hung around.

Silvia and Anna. Anna was one of coolest people i met while there.

on the sand dunes around Huacachina on second trip there. had a small party w/ other volunteers on top of dunes first time around, w/ music, drinks and fire twirling.

flippinf and running down the hot, hot, hot sand.

Anna and Marvin, who just jumped at her drink stealing straw straight away... then dipping his hands into drink and sipping. "ah cold! but i want some more. ah! cold. but i want some more... etc."

volunteers in Ica. overall we had 60 to 80 volunteers everyday between the different sites. most in Pisco.

Peru was playing Brazil and we watched it at the house of local family (cooks for project) and this was the grandfather after Peru scored.
