Rounds at the hospital. What was that? It's hard to follow with three attendings all talking at once.

Off to work, the entrance to Hospital Lorena.

An ex-micro preemie, still very micro and with a broken arm. We've been asked to adopt, anyone interested?

Doctor Julio. Such a nice guy, if only he wouldn't give antibiotics, steroids, and NSAIDS to every patient.

Radiology rounds, can you see the fused ribs?

Prune Belly Syndrome: lack of abdominal musculature + urinary tract abnormalities + pulmonary hypoplasia

We are doing work here, it's not all about huge goblets of fresh juice...

the shining Jesus that looks over all of cusco (he lights up at night)


the view of the plaza de armas from Jesus' perspective


michelle with her new boyfriend (he's an athlete)



clouds over cusco

and finally, a place with functional wireless


and enormous goblets of fresh squeezed juice


ok, it's muy touristy, but its our favorite place...

yummy salads


and even yummier coffee and sunday breakfasts

if you ever visit cusco, you gotta try Jack's cafe

Our altogether unsuccessful search for wifi happily culminated in a torta de chocolate deliciosa.

No luck at the smoky Crown Pub...

Our city wide search for a working wireless signal...
Ninas...


Frutas...


Puertas...

Chocolate after lunch, always a good thing.
Our entrance to the clinic, Michelle has got down the method of unlocking the door from the inside.
the lovely view on the way to the campo
the soup that we carried on the long bumpy road going to good use...for the dogs
Lyra surveys the land of Pancarhuaylla
our friend nana who lives behind the german "internet" cafe
mmmmm...yummy dessert to treat michelle's lonliness until lyra arrives
