This is Alida, Gita, and I at Hearts Cafe, an NGO we're making connections with in Ollantaytambo
Yep. It had to be that our penultimate day was quite Peruvian in that we cant leave the town. STRIKE!
This happens about once a week or once every other week. The strikes here are tranquilo, calm, with people parading, megaphones, and road blocks made of huge boulders that people roll into the road. No violence. Unless you try to cross the lines, then they slash your tired, throw stones, and maybe beat you up. But if you just walk over and dont provoke them by crossing union lines, tranquilo. So despite big plans to do a huge outreach program in Matinga, we are taking a forced administrative day in Urubamba. Its Ok. We need it. And tomorrow will just be crazy busy with all the stuff we couldnt do today!
