The beautiful Miraflores district of Lima has thus
far been eventful, as our diverse DWC team enjoyed our last “free-day” by
touring the city on bikes.
After a short ride along the city’s winding and bustling
streets, the tour eventually gave way to a long beachside strip full of
breathtaking views. After checking out a variety of places, the team eventually
settled and stumbled upon a busy “La Lecha,” an old-fashioned Peruvian diner
with delicious creamy milkshakes and guac-topped burgers.
The first workweek was definitely not easy, as the majority
of the project has consisted of excavating and clearing rock with only the most
basic of shovels, pikes, axes, and chisels.
The vision is to construct a support wall for a new school library for the small Barrio de El Salvador primary school. Still a long way to go.
Lima has been amazing and the work has been very satisfying!
Back to the grind tomorrow…
