La inauguración

Amelia, Katy, and I made a special trip to Pisac today to watch the inaugration of President Obama. Not as much of a big deal down here. But people are excited. Being in Perú, it´s obvious how much of an impact America has on the rest of the world. The culture, the currency, the fact that every gringo is from America, despite their real country of origin. It was a special day, and I feel lucky to be able to be a part of something bigger than myself as I work at the clinic.

Speaking of the clinic and life in Perú, I posted some pictures from the recent optometry campaign, the paro and the 12km walk home that day, and a hike up to some ruins above the town of Lamay called Huchuy Qosquo. Enjoy!
