Day 8—Thursday, July 28—Cuzco

A relaxed day. Peru's independence day. I slept in and wandered around the albergue talking to whoever and helping the kids with there homework for a little while in the afternoon. For a while, I worked with Gumercindo on a story that read like THE BOY WHO CIRED WOLF. Adam felt sick, so he stayed in that night, but I went out with the Spanish girls and some other Basques from their same volunteer group that evening. I didn’t say much; hence I ended up drinking a few more than everyone else.
