The Stampede

Someone asked why I would walk to work?  Well.....

My walk to work

Things are starting to come together now and I have access to the pictures I took on my iphone on the way to work.  

This is the road that takes me to Bella Union.  It is about 6:00am right now.  If you real far you can see a cow on the side of the road that I have to pass.

These are the cows that are being milked and the milk is likely being sold to Nestle or Gloria Milk. 

I am now going down the road through Bella Union I think.   

This is an odd picture as the sky came in completely differently and you can see the pixel line.  The mountain was that color which is why I took the picture.  I moved to a more open part of the walk, you can see I am in a giant valley.  This is the area right before I get onto the road that goes in front of the airstrip.  Today I saw LCPeru land.  It is a little Twin Otter that flies out of Lima for cheap.  

This is as I come into the city of Cajamarca, the first actual sidewalk on my walk.   

Here I am arriving at Davy after an hour and 5 minute walk.  It is about 7:05am right now.  

Here is my office!!!

I have some videos for later.....

Thanks for reading..... 

Wow

I haven't been blogging as much as Kerry mainly because of my technology limitations.  The limitations are getting fewer and some nice surprises have sprung up.

First of all the weather is great! I think I have said it before but I absolutely can't believe how exceptional it is. 

The next thing is that while we have had a few plumbing issues, which will be fixed this week, it has forced me to explore the hot tub spa. The hot tub is awesome. I have both soaked and bathed in it twice. I see this becoming a nightly habit. 

Another habit that I am going to enjoy is walking to work in the morning, at least until the rainy season. I walk through a little neighborhood called Bella Union. Kerry will post pictures soon. The walk goes through a small residential area and farming area, then around the airstrip and into Cajamarca and to Davy College.  Kerry will post some pictures later as well.  The walk takes about an hour and will be perfect opportunity for daily exercise. I will just can or bus home after work.

Another surprise is the amount of service that is available. Tomorrow a carpenter from work is going to stop by about 8:00am( I will be up) and fix our dining room table leg which busted off last night. The table is great but I think this was a previous issue. Once fixed it will be a very nice table.   

Too many things to blog about!
