Monday 27th September

Unfortunately Jenny has been running a high temperature for the last day or so, so this is a bit of a collective effort.


As part of of our continuing holiday minisrty mission visit, we all boarded a mini-bus to Pisaq (sans Emma who sadly was ill). On route, we visited an animal sanctuary for endangered species. It included hairless dogs, pumas and magnificent condors. Pisaq is a lovely mountain village surrounded by typical Inca ruins. We headed up to the entrance, only to be told that we each had to purchase a full multi-centre tourist ticket, which cost a small fortune. We unaminously refused and headed back down to the village and spent our time (and money) in a great market.
We returned by a different route down through the Sacred Valley, where Roland showed us a village which had been virtually wiped out by floods last January. R & J had helped in the relief operation providing food & clothing etc., The villagers are now temporaily housed in makeshift shed/tents,while the authorities decide where they can be permanently resttled. In the evening we rejoined the Spanish church for a further celebration of their 15th Anniversary. After some worhsip and testimonies we were served with a buffet  supper. A very pleasant evening
Tomorrow the work starts!
