Cerro Cabras

Last week one afternoon after work some of the interns climbed the hill that overlooks Wichanzao and Trujillo. This hill, called Cerro Cabras (literally Goat Mountain) is dry and brown for most of the year but has turned green in the past few weeks due to all of the rain (aka mist!) we have been getting. I really loved getting out of town first of all for some fresh air…it doesn’t stink quite so much up there! But also because of the amazing view this vantage point affords. From this point, depending on the weather you can see all of the district of La Esperanza (north of the city) and much of the city as well. It is so amazing to see all the communities that I have worked in since being here-Wichanzao, Arevalo, Clementina, Nuevo Jerusalen, Parque Industrial, Milagro and others. We climbed up and looked for a few minutes trying to spot out all of the neighborhoods and landmarks we knew before heading down and singing (apparently there is quite the range of voices in our group!)I tried for about five minutes to get my camera set up to take a picture, but the wind was so strong it just kept blowing the camera over! We finally got one that is crooked but we are laughing and I think it just captured the moment well! :D
