a few words from kate and audrey:

we have had a pretty awesome time in Peru, but we are also looking forward to returning home to our families. speaking of families, dad: (this is audrey talking) this blog is specifically for you, and kate´s mom: don´t worry, I´ve been looking after your baby as promised :)

moving on... today we took a tour of a glacier lake. it was breathtaking (mainly because of the altitude haha). afterwards, we ate lunch with the Girasoles (the boys at the home in Kusi. The food we ate was cooked in their underground oven. then we went on a hike down the mountain and learned about the tragic earthquake which occured in 1970 and resulted in a landslide that caused the deaths of nearly an entire town.

we are eagerly anticipating shopping in the markets of Lima tomorrow, however the nine hour bus ride we could certainly live without. we have attained soooooo many memories from this trip. it´s almost weird that it´s close to the end.

alright, since audrey has been critizing my typing skills this entire blog(this is kate talking), i think we will bring it to an end and leave saying that we love and miss you all and will see you in three days :)

p.s. we love you mommies
