Bambamarca Photos

The first few pictures are of Market Day in Bambamarca and then my parents visit. Enjoy!
Bras, underwear, bleach and cooking oil for sale - nice combination.

Yumm....FISH!!! You can't even imagine how BAD this smells!

This is how we buy our pots and pans...right off the street!

Lots of fresh produce.

My family weighing and wrapping cheese.

Playing UNO with Carol and Martin.

Dr. Katy, Chabu, and Consuelo making kabobs - yum!

So excited to see my hermanita.

Dr. Martin and Dad.

The doctor (saying "whiskey" instead of cheese) with Martin, mom and dad eating lunch.

Hanging out at Meche's store - I love them!

The church on the Plaza de Armas in Bambamarca.

My Peruvian host sister and me!

Dad, Karina, and mom on our "city tour".

This is the profile of Christ - what Bambamarca is famous for! Can you see it?

Hanging out in the internet!

Cuy anyone? Yes this is how they sell guinea pig in the market - ready to FRY!

And this is how they sell meat - do you like how sanitary it is?

Lots of grains for sale in the market.

Taking pictures in the plaza is a really big deal here.

Karina outside of the internet with the soccer courts in the background.

Dinner at Rita's house - pollo a la brasa - yum!

Rita and Melany were so happy I finally came back!

Miki dressed for school.

Our goodbye pictures with Marta and Karina (they were so sad to say goodbye).

Marta and Wilder with their new best friends.....they LOVED my parents, but can you blame them?

Karina and mom in my room with all of the luggage - Karina wanted to take this picture!

A view along the way to San Juan de Lacamaca.

Another beautiful view!

Dad LOVED picking corn - he jumped right in!

Picking corn and beans - I'm so Peruvian now.

Hanging out in the plaza with dad (behind the flowers).

They like to shape their plants here - I guess this is a dollar sign...go figure!

Dad and me with Freddy's family - they invited us on the family outing to pick corn.

Saying goodbye to Karina (and Bambamarca) before we got on the bus.
