My first 9 hours in Peru I spent in an airport waiting for my flight from Lima, the capital, to Cajamarca, another major city in Peru. I am part of the group Engineers Without Borders and this year our project was to go build a reservoir in La Huaylla, a community in Peru. Now, 9 hours would be no big deal if we all just slept before our next flight which was at 5 in the morning. By all, I mean Hannah, Evan, Josh, Semaj and Olyvia- the first half of the team. We all met in Lima to head to La Huaylla together and rather than getting even an ounce of sleep we spent all night talking about things I couldn’t remember if my life depended on it. We board our plane hours later, a little exhilarated, excited and yes of course, exhausted. When we land we are greeted very cheerfully by Jorge, the HAUSS president (the HAUSS is the waterboard committee in La Huaylla) and two Peace Corps volunteers, Andrew and Joe. They haggle with 3 taxis and finally agree on 8 soles each to take us...
