Today was an extremely busy day – as the last days of holidays often are, packing in all the things you said you would do but have left to the last minute… First, we moved Anastassja’s things to her new place of residence (see below), then we got her a mobile phone at one of the many Claro outlets there are here in Cusco (the most modern-looking shops in town), and then we went to the Kusi Uyacha Guarderia (Quechua, this means “Carita Feliz” in Spanish and “Smiling Face” in English), where Anastassja spent 6 months working as a volunteer every morning. These are the children of the poor people who try to sell things to tourists on the streets of Cusco… They were very happy to see Anastassja and curious of me. I found them surprisingly bonny; a bit grubby by our standards for sure, but happy, smiling and surprisingly autonomous for pipi, etc. Some of them got into a terrible mess with the Swiss chocolates we had brought them and I soon found myself wiping their little brown hands and faces to virtually no resistance – children are children the world over and mothers are mothers!
Sounds like Sarah au pays des Peruviens! This blog is very funny to read, like you're bringing chocolate and mobile phones to poor little Anas ! Conquistadore Mama !
