Last Dance in Cuzco

The kids had a great time at the club last night with the salsa dancing. I think we have some budding salsa experts: Mikhaila, Morag and Pascal just to name a few.
The lessons lasted an hour and then they played some North American music. All the students were dancing and even some of the parents got up to dance.
Today we have a bit of a leisurely morning. We will have a later wake up call and leave for the airport at about 11:30 am. We will say goodbye to the other group from Michigan as they are not going into the jungle. I think the students made a few new Facebook friends (Reed).
Last night the students were very excited to hear about their upcoming jungle experience: monkeys, cayman, parrots, turtles, catfish, piranhas and more. We were told that we will changing clothes about 3 times a day either because of the heat (sweating) or rain. Temperatures will range from 29 to 40 degrees Celsius...in the plus range!! Rubber boots are supplied. There is also only four hours of lights at night to conserve energy. Not sure if there will be any wifi? If not, I will have to wait to update the blog when we start our trip home on Sunday.
Off to the jungle we go!!
