A few more Ancash Pictures

I'm still waiting on more pictures, but living in the Peace Corps can be like living in the stone age some times. I'm not even going to explain this picture. But rather take suggestions as to what you think may be happening at the very moment the photo was taken. Regardless of what your imagination can come up with, it's all pretty typical behavior of how us Peru 9ers like to spend our precious time together.



This picture on the other hand is a bit more traditional . This is the group that spent easter weekend together up in the mountains. There are two little Peruvian girls in this picture, which is pretty typical peruvian kid behavior. We were hiking around the lake taking pictures, and the girls saw the cameras and started pleading to have pictures taken of themselves. Vishal and I were the only youth volunteers in the group, so we knew better. We immediately started shooing them away but the business volunteers got sucked in thinking the girls were cute. Big mistake. Then of course we couldn't get rid of them the whole time . And while some people in our group got a kick out of them, Vish and I were a little annoyed because we felt we could never get a vacation from our jobs as human jungle gyms. So naturally when we told them we wanted to take a picture with just our friends, they jumped in at the last minute like the disrespectful little gringo-abusers that most kids their age are. I think they finally got scared off when there was a dare made and, well, let's just say some clothes came off. Suffice to say, this alone did not scare them off. Their mom came looking for them and once she saw what were doing and that her kids were watching, she called them away. That is, only after she took a picture on her camera phone of the debauchery. Only a select few will get to see the pictures not appropriate for my blog. Let me know if you're curious enough to see the x-rated (okay more like PG-13) pictures. I'll email you one.
