When we arrived Cajamarca Joel and Theodoro picked us up on the airport rightaway- luckily their spanish was understandable and they seemed to be really nice. It was absolutely great to see mountains all over the place and meet a smaller place than Lima. CODE (the organization I will work for) has a landrover car, which took us all the way to Chota, passing by amazing mountains, tiny peruvian ladies carrying wood on their back, children playing in the fields, and super steep hills... Chota was bigger than I had thought, they even have moto taxis here! Really weird to come to such a "big" town in the middle of nowhere. We met with all the crew yesterday and they all seemed nice. One young woman and 6 men! Really fun people- they seem to laugh a lot, which is good. Now: off for almuerzo (2 o clock meal) in a local restaurant.
