Day 5: Are we there yet?

We thought that the 8:00 wake up call would come early, but the actual wake up of 10:00 was much more acceptable.  Somehow in a day and a half, my things seemed to explode all over our room, so after a little packing, we were all ready to hit the road.  We piled into two small buses with a lot of bottled water and hit the road.  The drive to Pamopoyo was just filled with beautiful scenic view after beautiful scenic view, showing us some of this country's true beauty.

The village was very small and very basic, but also very prepared for our arrival.  There were all sorts of decorations set up and a lunch feast of llama meat and potatoes with fresh llaqua (spicy salsa).  The llama was incredible, and a real honor for them to be serving such a prized animal to us for our meal.  Both before and after lunch, the villagers grabbed many of us to dance with them.  Now when I say dancing, I mean dancing in the loosest possible sense of the word, much like how house cats and tigers are technically the related, but still very different.  Their dancing was just shuffling around for a while, while the drums and some other instruments were playing in the background.  This went on for probably 4 hours until we got sometime to unpack before supper at about 7:30.  Bedtime followed directly after dinner, which was very necessary at this point.
