See you soon Cuzco

And after all these weeks, the moment comes to say our goodbyes, to pack our backs and to take the road again and to say… see you later, Cuzco! And we leave sad, because these weeks have been very good and intense. And we say goodbye to our classes of Spanish, French, karate. And we also say goodbye to the children from the human settlement Hermanos Ayar, with its spectacular views of Cuzco, where we have walked so many times, and where we have spent so many afternoons playing with the children and trying to help them with the various homework they had. And they say goodbye to us with “huatias”, potatoes (papas) roasted in an oven built from mud bricks and sand, and feeling sad we say “hasta pronto/see you soon”. And we say goodbye to the hostel, where we have spent so many days. And Marlis, who has been our host all these weeks, also treat us to a special meal, and as it could not be otherwise, we enjoy a dish of papas and choclo (corn) taken directly from the land, and a cuy (guinea pig) of the many that they kept in the “cuy farm” that they kept in the kitchen and which made its way, in the time span of two minutes, from being happily alive to the pan….
And we say goodbye to the mountains, the valley, the ruins, the narrow streets, the squares, the rainbow flags…. And to all these things we say: see you soon! And we say goodbye to Marlene, to Silvia, to Marlis, to Adrial, to Sandra, to Jessica, to Javier, to Lucho, to Tino…. And to all of them we say: see you soon!
