Then I should breath on the leaves where after he gently threw them up in the air. This he did a couple of times, and after each time he interpreted how they had landed – on top of each other or ...

Well today is my final day in Peru and I didn´t do a great deal today, a real administration day getting ready for Argentina. However, did have a pleasant evening meal with the Spanish nurses again although they were largely in a morose mood given that two thirds of them were going back to work in England.
