Samne is beautiful. Everybody should come visit it at least once and drink pineapple juice.
Why ride on a comfortable car seat when you can ride in the back? Los chicos cool.
And the trash problem. It actually does exist, though not too many townspeople seem preoccupied about it. Emily has many more lovely trash pictures on her camera.
Shout-out to Garrett Disco. This is your bridge! When cars cross it you can dinstinctly see the bending. Seeing it almost makes we want to do some stress/strain calculations.
Team posing in the Pitajaya post our meeting with the community. Afterwards we walked down to a huaca (sacred place from pre-Incan times) that was nearby, but sadly we could only find fragments of pottery.
This is the house we were suppose to stay in, but did not because they had not finished repairing it yet. Imagine our surprise when we discovered that the color scheme they chose was orange and black. Coincidence? I think not.
I pretended not to know these guys as they posed while we hiked around the Pitajaya. Seriously, who are they?
Group picture at our house in Samne! The two non-travel team members are Alan, the mayor of Samne, and Brian, the current Peace Corp Volunteer in Otuzco. 
Sometimes the tech team actually does stuff. Just kidding. They work hard all the time!
Being in Samne is a lot like going on OA sans the 40-ton packs. Lots of sweating but a million-dollar view.
Group picture with people from the Pitajaya, a caserio of Samne. We met with them to talk about their lack of potable water.
The design team strutting their Tyvex Suits. Yes, even playing with sewage can be fun.
The health post in Samne is well-stocked. There is a doctor, two nurses and two technicians.
Well those are all the photos for now! Expect more at the end of the trip!
Tyvex suit shot = FB profile pictures. Do it.
