Friday, July 20 Day 7

Friday was the end of our first week of classes.  I have heard good reports from the kids and adults about their teachers and classes...so far, so good.
Elias went down with a fever and chills, so the school called a doctor, who showed up in an ambulance!  They ended up taking him to the clinic, and decided to keep him overnight.  After a good night´s rest, oxygen, and antibiotics, he was a new man the next day.  We learned a lot about health care hereñ maybe it was a little overkill to stay the night, but they are very concerned that visitors to Cusco enjoy their stay.
Internet service has been sketchy, between that and our Machu Picchu excursion,  I haven´t been able to post since Thursday.  Next post...Machu Pichu!

He got an ambulance ride home!
