The last light was waning, the road was desolate and empty, lighting flashed above in the clouds. It was a dark and stormy as five people were walking unsteadily down the lonely dirt road in the pouring rain. The four men and a women were laughing as they slipped and struggled to remain upright as the rain continued to pour down turning the dirt road into soup. There wasn´t another soul to be seen for the next hour but finally as they crested the last slippery hill – lights, humanity, sadly no motorcars to been seen. Well, if you guessed I was walking from Llanchama to Nina Rumi with a group of professors from Llanchama. We finally arrived back to Iquitos very late and wet just wishing for a hot shower.

The reason for our late night was because on Saturday, June 7 the school had a cook-out Peruvian style. It was much like our backyard BBQs: music, plenty of food and drink with the company of friends and family, not to mention the ubiquitous fútbol! The photo above is the school´s director in the yellow dress shirt and several of the other professors.

In this photo, I holding a lovely 2 mos. old girl named Cinthia Amanda and Prof. James (PE prof.) joins me in a pre-game smile. I enjoyed a game of futbol with the boys not the men they play too rough (rugby-like)but I had plenty of fun with all the kids and profs.

Junior also played several games of fútbol and there was plenty of singing and music!
