Simplicity

In my couple of months here my eyes have really been opened to the grace of simplicity.  The campesinos who I work with are very simple but they have graced me with so much and also reminded me about what I don't need.  I have time here in Otuzco to read, practice guitar and of course practice Spanish.  I spend free time going on walks, napping, and just chatting and being present with people.  It is a great life indeed! Some photos that follow are from my whole time here- with an emphasis (hopefully) on the graces found in simplicity.
