I'm on my winter vacation for 2 weeks. It's wonderful. It's Monday morning and I'm actually free in the morning to get organized, update my blog among other things. Friday was the last day of school and the students had a show they put on for all of the parents. Independence Day is today so they put on the show before the vacation to learn and teach about the country. Two grades teamed up and did a mini-show on a region of Peru. There are three regions, the jungle, mountains, and coast. They did dances and the older grade of each group explained a little bit about each region. My second graders (red and white outfits) did the coast and they did a great job. They looked super cute. Five year olds were teamed up with them. You can see Ella, the Brubakers daughter, dancing in the middle.
First and fourth grades had the mountain region. This is the region I live in so it's very typical to see these outfits whenever there are parades. Third grade and the four year olds had the jungle. Carrie decided to have the four year olds dress up like jungle animals and do a really cute jungle song, then while the third graders danced (pretended to be native americans hunting and collecting food), the four year olds came back out and snuck around until some of the 'hunters' started carrying these little 4 year olds of the stage. Everybody loved it. It was really adorable.
So 
far Uncle Dan have checked out this beautiful building from Incan times that I always pass when I'm in the city but never took the time to go inside. Yesterday we were in one of the 7 wonders of the world all day- Machu Picchu. It was neat going a second time and still seeing some new things, and its always different going with a new person. We were stuck in the city until our train at 9:30 but we managed to entertain ourselves with restaurant hopping (dinner one place, dessert another) and checking out stores and the market. After a train ride from Machu Picchu to Ollantaytambo, a crazy taxi ride from Ollanta to Cusco and another from Cusco to my house, it was 1:30am and I was happy to be home.
