Before commencing this blog - an amazing sight - the valley of Jicamarca turns green after very unseasonable rain, an event that happens about once in every eight to ten years.
Work begins on the construction of the new building for the Baking Workshop.
The roofing of the building is always a moment of major importance and the tradition is that a meal for the workers be provided when the work is finished.
Celebrating the roofing of the construction, and in keeping with an ancient indigenous tradition, Rosa pours chicha on the ground, giving back to the earth something of the fruits received and enjoyed. 
Acknowledging the generosity of many people - present and absent, Senora Maria officially declares the Workshop open!!
