"SONJIA CUHER: On behalf of Expert Village this is Sonjia Cuher. Raincoat, you may laugh but this is my raincoat, it's a plastic bag and I pay for it a dollar. A couple of years ago I got a really expensive coat, a Gore-Tex, and it rained the whole--I mean the whole week that I was in there in the highlands, so no matter how expensive was my coat, I brought my plastic bag, that's the best thing, it works great, you don't get wet--I mean you will sweat but this will protect you. Remember, Peruvian climate, it varies. We only have two seasons, dry season and wet season. The dry season, it's cold and it dry. And the wet season, you will get wet. It's really--it rains, you know it pours like cats and dogs that's the expression. And also, remember we have three different types of climates because over the cordillera all the range. So by the coastline, we have just sort of like a mile winter, mile summer. In the highlands, dry and wet and in the highlands always hot and wet."
