Monday at dawn Inger Marie and I will take off for Chota and the mountains. We will fly to Cajamarca and have a 5 hour drive to Chota from there. After a meeting in the Stroemme office here in Lima with more information, I am eager to take part in the CODE project up in the "sierra". I look forward to breath in some fresh air, hike around in the beautiful nature and not having to be afraid of getting my things stolen and look over my shoulder anymore... And of course I enjoy starting the work that we are here for- meeting my colleagues and get to see what they are doing up there. The time in Lima has been unforgettable though- first of all with my host family. I have been taken to a peruvian lutheran church and a "celular" group, been dancing salsa to reggeaton music with my "cousins", watched out on the city from a beautiful viewpoint by the ocean and met the girls in the center for young mothers. And much more, as you can tell by my blog. What I can sum up about Lima is only that its very big and diverse... I have seen so many sides of it, you wouldn`t guess it`s the same city. A very interesting stay. Good food, and above all, very nice and friendly people.
