Day 7: School visit & Horseback riding

Today started out with a scavenger hunt at the local market. The kids sure appreciate Hy-Vee and it's cleanliness a little more.
Next up was our Community Visit Optional.  We visited a school in an agricultural area named CooperarPeru. Sadly no children were in session today but they made us gifts. We took a tour of the school and saw the 3 classrooms and the library. Most of the kids bought shirts and we quickly pulled together some cash to donate. It was a neat experience.
Next up was horseback riding. We went outside of Cuzco up in to the hills. The kids each got a horse, some named Starbrite, Cielo,  Tatoo, Cometa, Bandito, Kitty, etc... They mounted up and headed off to the hills. They made a stop at some ruins and then headed back. I think they enjoyed their rides and had fun.
Our afternoon was free so the kids hit the market and bought quite a bit.
Tomorrow we are heading back to Lima and will hang out there, have our final dinner, and head to the airport. We are looking forward to our dinner as Daniel and amigos are coming! We are excited to hear how the unpacking went.
Not sure if I'll get to blog tomorrow  but will do so when I get home.
