Visiting in Ayacucho

To summarize:  

We left El Cristal preps on Friday, Nov. 1, and had the weekend in Guayaquil.  I traveled to Portoviejo on Monday morning along with four other sister workers and then on to Manta with Karla Andrade, a young girl from Ayacucho who was accompanying us on a few visits since we were an uneven number of sisters.  We spent Monday night with Léster Antonio and Kiara Sánchez.  That's where the roosters made my night a few hours shorter than it needed to be.  On Tuesday Karla and I traveled to her home in Ayacucho where we had lunch, supper and the night.  Also, there was a Bible study that evening at Sra. Monse's where we all got eaten alive by little black bugs.

If you've been to Sra. Patricia's home in Ayacucho, perhaps you'll notice a few differences?  

The last time I was there, the bottom level of the house was completely open.  The top floor was on concrete stilts as is common in this area.  It's now a completely finished two story home.
