El Huayco

"Huayco" is Quechua for mudslide. I walked to the seminary this morning, so the main road, Mariscal Castilla, is passable for walkers. People are still shoveling out houses and clearing off their sidewalks. Machines are working on the streets and putting the river back. I have not seen the reservoir. It is fifteen feet deep and was almost completely full of mud and rocks. We still have water since the cistern "just happened" to be full before the mudslide. The city is bringing water up for other people and they are making do. I put up pictures on facebook.
