Meet The Team

Although I am back in Lima currently, and heading back to the USA tonight, I am still posting information about the trip over the past week.

In my blogs, I have been referring to "we" quite a bit. Well, in case you were wondering who I have been traveling with, I thought I would introduce you. No, Beth did not go on the trip, although I am hopeful she will come along on the next adventure.




Tom. "El Jefe"
Tom was the leader of our group. Tirelessly, he made sure we were where and when we needed to be, began at step one and proceeded accordingly, and ensured we had the answer to every question imaginable before it was asked. His Spanish is pretty good, too. Thanks for everything, Tom.







Barbara, our official Minister.

Like me, Barbara decided to do this trip because it was so outside of what everyone who knows her would expect, and, like me, she was glad she did it. Her calming influence and unique perspective and experience helped us to see the challenges and situations we encountered from angles we may not have considered otherwise. Well done, Barbara.

She was the fashion plate of the jungle, can drink a margarita (or two) and is a vocal proponent of hens' rights.




Cecil

Cecil had done the trip last year, so his insight of what to expect before it happened was very valuable (well, usually). Cecil has the remarkable ability to spot wildlife just before it disappears into the brush or beyond the horizon. An enthusiastic experiencer of life, he didn't miss an adventure or an activity. You're alright, Cecil.
Obsessed with chickens for some unknown reason.






Karly.

Karly was our Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar who will be studying in Lima for the next year. It was great having a young person's perspective and energy along. While the rest of us are just trying to change a small part of the world, Karly has the time and ability to make a significant positive impact, and she probably will. Good Luck, Karly.

She also has a unique way of telling jokes that must be experienced firsthand to truly appreciate.




What a team! Everyone played a part and contributed to our success. Thank you, everyone, it was a pleasure.
