Peruvian Mennonite church and the terraces of Tipon

Sunday, June 11.

Last night all the students were left in pairs at the homes of Mennonite families in Cusco or the village of Lucre.  In the morning students had breakfast with their respective families and then went together to the Mennonite church in either Cusco or Lucre.  The 2-hour services featured (lots of) singing, preaching, and announcements, not unlike our churches at home.  Many of the Mennonite families in Lucre have family trout farms and restaurants, and we enjoyed the fresh fish at one of those.  After lunch we headed to the Incan ruins of Tipon, believed to have been the royal estate of an emperor.
