After two days of traveling we made it to Puno, Peru where we will be staying for the next month. Our travels went smoothly and we arrived safely and soundly. As of now we are acclimating to the altitude and beginning some of our preliminary work. We met with Doctor Ivan yesterday and will begin our hospital shadowing and work in the schools on Tuesday (as Monday is a holiday). We met some wonderful people in the airport who were traveling to a remote village in the Andes, and with them we sent a portion of our donation supplies of toothbrushes and toothpaste. Hope all is well back in the states and keep checking for updates. At that, we are about to go support our country as they play against Brazil in the futbol finals.

Best,
egw & all of our lovely travelers
