The first week of May my parents came to visit. I met up with them in Cajamarca and we made our way to San Miguel in the collectivos. I was really worried that my mom would get car sick on the way there so we paid to take a private car ($48 for a 5 hr taxi) so my mom could sit byherself in the front and my dad and I in the back seat. Unfortunately that made it a little less exciting for them – no women breast feeding while their babies rest on our laps, no chickens jumping out of the trunk pecking us in the back of the head, etc. etc. But, all went well because we made it safe and sound to site with out even needing Damamine.
As soon as we showed up at site, my artisans had arranged a party for my parents. They made empenadas, chocolate cake and coffee and tea. Its interesting because my artisan refuse to pay 2-3 soles to attend artisan fairs but they were more than willing to put up about 20 soles to pay for the party for my parents.
In the end it was a good deal for them though because my mom bought a whole bunch of artisan products so she could take them back for her friends and other things to decorate our house.
