Trip to Andahuaylas

After retrieving the family and pet from Cusco we planned our trip to return to Oxapampa. It took three days to travel through the mountain roads during the rainy season. We are thankful for the prayers for safety. We were able to witness so many things on our trip from bungee jumpers, rainbows, and beautiful scenery.

 Our first day's goal of was to go from Cusco to Andahuaylas. It's normally about a seven hour trip but with a dog and weather took us about 8 hours. Andahuaylas is where we were on our first term at Abundant Life Baptist Church. It was a blessing to reacquaint with friends. We were told that the post office might still be holding some of our mail from the last four years.
 When Nisha went in and asked if we had any mail the postman wondered when we were going to come receive them. There were over thirty letters for us.

 The second day of traveling was from Andahuaylas to Huancayo. It took us over eleven hours on roads we had never traveled that proved to be an adventure for me with a 4x4 but and scary dangerous trip for Nisha who doesn't like to put herself in harms way with one lane muddy roads and steep drop offs. I was able to sneak a few pictures while driving but was not allowed when it began getting dark, raining and windy.

 Other cars were getting stuck in small rivers and needed help to get through. God gave us safety and allowed us to arrive in Huancayo about 9:30pm.
