I am terrified  but everyone  keeps on saying I am courageous. My diet in which I have never changed in my life is now meat and maize rather than potatoes. I have to admit it is alot tastier. Although they treet me like a Chief's daughter now  I prefer being an alive pesant child. ]]> 2020-09-09 19:04:07 UTC https://padlet.com/alia226/8tsl0s3ln0eppbi/wish/732725389 alia226 https://padlet.com/alia226/8tsl0s3ln0eppbi/wish/732825480 I have so far spent 3 months  in Akuasi, Cusco where they keep all the chosen children. I am not allowed to leave my room to keep me and other children apart so we remain pure. I feel really lonley  being far away from my home but the people who are responsible for the preparations keep saying I should  be honoured to be chosen. I wish I was back in the village with the other kids eating potatoes.]]> 2020-09-09 19:32:11 UTC https://padlet.com/alia226/8tsl0s3ln0eppbi/wish/732825480 alia226 https://padlet.com/alia226/8tsl0s3ln0eppbi/wish/732875750 I saw a group of men carrying  large baskets filled with gleaming white bird feathers and precious sea shells. I have never seen such precious items like this before. I was told this was the most important part of the preperations because these valubale items come from the other side of the empire. It would  then be laid in a neat pattern outside the cave that I will go to .]]> 2020-09-09 19:47:57 UTC https://padlet.com/alia226/8tsl0s3ln0eppbi/wish/732875750 alia226 https://padlet.com/alia226/8tsl0s3ln0eppbi/wish/732973439 It is so cold and I am chewing more coca leaves than ever.
