Day 6

So today at the work site was awesome, really really tiring though. We helped finish the last rows of adobe and got the site ready for the roof, piled stones for the floor, shucked bamboo and evened out the ground in front of the school. Every couple hours the children came out and helped shuck bamboo with us. It is quite a bit easier to understand children then it is to adults; you can communicate with them through hand motions and games.

We found out today that there is a possibility of a farm strike on Monday and Tuesday next week. Now, if this happens, then all roads will be blocked off, and nobody will be able to go anywhere. We've been told one of the reasons behind the strike is protesting a free trade agreement with the US and Canada. If people try to drive the roads protesters will throw rocks.
If this does happen, it takes out two of our work days, so we've had to reschedule several things. So tomorrow, instead of Monday, will be a half day and construction will make their way over to Santa-Anna for a sort of closing ceremony. Monday will be a hike, and of course, we'll have to hike out of the city. Tuesday has potential to be an optional hike (which I'm not sure would be a good idea as we're hiking the Inca trail) or do other things around Urubamba.
