Roofing day in Tacllapampa! Nov 14th, 2009

Our guest of honor!
"Alpaca Joe"
Bar-b-qued alpaca was a hit! But we had to add a sheep to it, as we had many guests and only one of the two alpacas arrived. The man bringing them says one escaped over the mountian???
Other guests! The main meal is in the evening, after the roofing is all on. Gracias, Amigos Farmecos!
Serving up plates, around 90 of them!
Most everyone brings something to drink, as a gift. As we asked them not to bring anything alcaholic, we got lots of bottles of soda.
I am afraid these rafters wouldn't pass any code in the States. But they are stronger than most around, and we don't have to worry about much snow anyway.
Truses and perlins up in the morning, got started on the sheeting around 2PM, and down for supper around 5PM.

Gordon and Betsie,

Your dad had shown me your web site several months ago, but I just spent the last 30-45 minutes looking at all of your entries from the start. Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed seeing all the photos and reading about your life there in Peru.

God's blessing to you all.
