Overseas Adventure Travel tries to give us a view of life as it's lived by the locals. Today we had a visit to the school supported by the tour company’s foundation and lunch with a local family.
I loved the school- it was 3- to 6-year olds and we brought things for the school. The beanbag game I brought was a great hit as soon as the kids were told they were "pelotas"!
They sang us a song and then we reciprocated with “Itsy Bitsy Spider”.

| Among the breakfast offerings. |
 |
| Visit to a ceramicist's studio. |
 |
| Headed to have lunch with a local family. But first... |
 |
| We were told what to buy at the local market and were on our own. |
 |
| VERY fresh chicken. |
 |
| If they don't have it here, you don't need it. |
 |
| Preparations. |
 |
| Grinding herbs and spices the traditional way. |
 |
Bring on the food!
|
 |
| The main course. |
 |
| Guinea pig meat in foreground. It tasted more like beef than chicken; not much meat on it. |
 |
| Visit to a chocolate maker. They take it seriously here- cacao, sugar and nothing else. |
Below: hand-grinding cocoa beans takes some muscle!
