Carral

This past weekend, we took a trip north to Carral, which is one of the oldest in the world, and the oldest sacred city in the Americas!

I obviously know how to look like a tourist, check it!

A view of one of the pyramids.. they were used for sacrifice and religious events

Another scenic view


Afterwards, we went to Barranco, a town on the coast, for some lunch. If you can guess what this is called, I'll give you a shout out in my next post! (Hint: rice, beans, with seafood)

In the forefront you can see the edge of the cliff we were driving along

Update: The week has gone by really quickly. I've been very busy in El Agustino, preparing and conducting interviews with women who work in the Comedores. They have some really moving stories about why and when they became involved. I wish I had stronger Spanish already, so I could take away more, and ask more follow-up questions. Its frustrating when you don't have the right words to say what you're thinking!

Tonight, we're driving to Trujillo for a long weekend. Look for my next post within the next week!
